6. Cut two pieces of woven glass fiber cloth for backup

described.

NOTE:
In some cases it may be desirous to

provide additional reinforcements along a frac-

ture. This may be accomplished by placing

glass cloth strips in the panel break before

applying the plastic mixture.

Fractured Panels

Sometimes damage will occur to panels where the

underside is inaccessible or for reasons of panel con-

tour it is impractical to use back plies of fiberglass

cloth. The following repair operations are typical of

this type of damage.

1.
Prepare the damaged area by grinding or filing all

cracked and splintered material away from the

fracture.

2.
Bevel the edge of the fracture at approximately a

20° angle.

3.
Remove paint from area surrounding fracture with

Lacquer Solvent, or its equivalent.

4.
Scuff surface to provide a good bonding surface.

Then, clean up area with Prep-Sol and wipe dry.

5. Protect adjacent panels by masking, use non-staining

masking tape.

6. Cut a strip of fiberglass cloth of sufficient size, so

the fracture will be lapped from 1 to 2 inches on all

sides.

7. Prepare plastic mixture in an unwaxed paper cup.

(See Resin Repair Kit procedure.)

8. Impregnate glass fiber cloth by brushing or dipping

in plastic mixture. Squeeze excess mixture from

cloth.

NOTE:
Avoid over-rich plastic areas in the

glass cloth, as the strength of the patch is

directly proportional to the glass content of

the patch.

9. Position plastic impregnated fiberglass over the

fracture on the exterior of the panel, lap the break

by 1 to 2 inches, and depress into fracture.

10.
Carefully work excess plastic out of woven glass

by "squeegeeing" from the center of the break

outward.

NOTE:
Hold woven glass in place until plastic

resin "gels" with Saranwrap or some similar

material.

9. Place impregnated backup plies on underside of

panels. If necessary, hold backup plies in place with

paper until plastic "gels."

10.
Prepare another plastic mixture of resin and

hardener and mix thoroughly. To this mixture add

cut glass fiber (1/2" lengths) until mixture has a

putty-like consistency, or utilize glass cloth.

11.
Fill "V" groove with reinforced plastic material

or saturated glass cloth. Build up surrounding area

with sufficient material to allow for finish

operations.

12.
Allow patch to harden.

1.3. File or sand (#80-D sandpaper) to general panel

contour.

14.
Allow plastic fill to harden, then sand, preparatory

to paint operations.

HARD TOP

CARE AND STORAGE

The outside painted finish of the hard top should be

cleaned the same way as the rest of the car. The inside

headlining should be cleaned as outlined under Cleaning

Soft Trim.

When not using hard top, store it indoors where it can

be kept clean and dry. If the top is to be stored for a long

period of time, keep it covered to avoid dirt settling on

top and headlining. It is not advisable, however, to wrap

top assembly in a manner which will stop air circulation.

The hard top rear window is plexiglas and should be

cared for in exactly the same manner as outlined for the

convertible top rear window (see Care of Folding Top

in this section). Never scrape ice from rear window-

scratches are sure to result.

REAR WINDOW

Consult Figures 83 and 84 for parts identification.

Removal

1.
Remove hard top from vehicle. Place protective

covering over headlining.

2.
Remove screws retaining lower reveal moldings and

cap.

3.
Mark position of right hand upper reveal molding

end on top (fig. 85) and pry molding out of weather-

strip.
Repeat on left hand molding.

4.
Remove rear garnish moldings as outlined farther

on in this section.

5. Working from inside of top, carefully work weather-

strip from frame flange and push weatherstrip-

window assembly toward rear of top until free of

window frame.

6. Remove weatherstrip from window and inspect care-

fully. If weatherstrip is damaged, it should be dis-

carded. If it is in usable condition, clean off all

foreign material.

Installation

1.
Clean window frame of all old sealer, dirt, etc.

Remove and discard upper reveal molding retainers.

2.
Install twelve new upper reveal molding retainers

using mark made when removing reveal moldings

as guide. The two middle retainers should be 2"

center to center, those remaining should be approxi-

mately 7" apart as shown in Figure 86.

3.
As an aid to engaging reveal moldings in retainers

later on, place a short length of feeler stock behind

each as shown in Figure 87.

4.
Install weatherstrip on window.
