Roof Rail Weatherstrip

[Moparfiend]

I assume this piece is called the ‘Roof Rail Weatherstrip’ as denoted in the FSM fig. 18 chapter 23-15.

Does anyone know what type and size of screw was used. The FSM is not clear….

Thanks MF

My 65 used round head Phillips drive sheet metal screws, about 3/8-1/2" in length. About #8 size-try a known size in the screw holes to confirm.

Thanks Mike. Any idea if the molding needs to go in before or after the drip rail or if it doesn’t matter?

If you look close, you can see it’s a flat head. Philips self tapping 1/4 “ screw. I can get you a picture tomorrow if you don’t get it figured out.

There is a sealing tape that goes on the top side of the molding before you install it. Looks like thin foam.
