ISSUE:
The sealer from the windshield or backlite (Thunderbird only) may drip down onto the interior trim on some vehicles. This may be caused by the sealer
not curing properly and softening in hot weather.
ACTION:
Install a foam seal around the windshield and/or backlite (Thunderbird only). The seal will act as a dam and keep the sealer from dripping onto the
interior trim. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the A-pillar trim mouldings and headliner. On Thunderbird, also remove the rear seat and quarter trim mouldings. Refer to the appropriate
Service Manual for removal procedures.
NOTE:
WHEN REMOVING THE TRIM ITEMS, THE SEALER MIGHT BE STUCK TO THEM MAKING IT NECESSARY TO CUT THE SEALER
TO SEPARATE THE PARTS FROM THE VEHICLE.
