What page is the Weather Strip RoofRail Channel on in the Assembly Manual ???? Thanks ......alan

I think it was installed by the Fisher side, and therefore would not be in the AIM.

What are you looking for?

Just trying to track down screw size and trying to find out what they used underneath.......best of my trying .....it looks like a #8 X 1/2" screw....just wondering if I should go stainless being that is what the weatherstrip roofrail channel is made of, don't want electrolosis to start between 2 dis- simular metals.....I think I'm going with the 3M strips underneath...does that sound OK ???? Thanks alan

Don't know the size, but the factory used what appears to be phosphated steel. I saw not evidence of electrolosis when I redid mine.

I was planning to use the rubber strips used between a pick-up truck bed and cap, but my rubber seals were in good shape, so I just put some strip-a-caulk in a couple areas that had some tears.

Thanks for your help ........

You'll be dead and so will your grandchildren before you have to worry about Electrolysis and you would need to drive your car every day or wash it every day during that 3 generations. Don't use 3M Strip Caulk if that is what you are talking about using. Use NO strip caulk or sealant or glue. NOT necessary. ACE Hardward has a closed cell foam that is perfect. It is under their name. Original looks super thin, but that is because it was compressed. If you have a 69, it may be a little different. (I sure wish they had a required YEAR Field on this web site.) No one sees these screws. Interior screws work fine. I would have to look up to remember what the original screws where.

You bring up a good point. One thing the AIM is seriously missing is an index. :confused:

It didn't need one originally, because only Chevrolet people used it, and it only had Chevrolet-installed parts in it. Chevy people knew the "code", which is really quite simple, by UPC Group (Uniform Parts Classification), the system under which Chevrolet parts were released:

UPC 1 = Body & Trim
UPC 2 = Frame
UPC 3 = Front Suspension
UPC 4 = Rear Suspension, Axle & Driveline
UPC 5 = Brakes
UPC 6 = Engine
UPC 7 = Transmission & Clutch
UPC 8 = Fuel & Exhaust
UPC 9 = Steering
UPC 10 = Wheels & Tires
UPC 11/13 - Front Sheet Metal, Radiator & Grille
UPC 12 = Electrical
UPC 14 - Bumpers & Miscellaneous

The above indexes parts required to build a "base car" (no options); optional parts are in the back section, in the same alphanumerical order as the sales RPO Numbers (A thru Z).

:beers:

Thanks John, 2 Questions ...

1.Exactly where do the blow-out clips go? ( pics maybe)

2.Does the weather strip glue in the roofrail ???

This goes with a post I was planning to add today on what to put under the roofrail stainless? I don't have an Ace hardware around here so is there something else that can be put under the molding?

I used a clear caulk/seam sealer sold at the auto paint store for applications on paint. Wasnt comfortable with anything that might hold water or deteriorate. Used it on the heater box cover too.

The screws are available aftermarket- they are close to the originals anyway- large flat head, black oxide finish for my 67. I replated my old ones and reused.
