The front door striker plates should be moved in until the door is held firmly
against both the upper and lower rubber bumpers and the rubber door seal.
The front edge of the rear doors should be set slightly inside of the rear edge
of front doors to prevent wind noise at high speeds. If an adjustment is
necessary, loosen the bumper fastening screws (B) in the pillar post and move
the bumpers in or out as necessary to permit the door to close to the desired
position. Tighten the screws securely.
If, after this adjustment, the door must be slammed to latch it or the latch does
not hold the door snugly against the bumpers and weatherseal, loosen the latch
striker plate screws (C) in the pillar post and move the striker in or out as necessary
and tighten the screws securely.
Caution: Do not remove the striker plate screws, as the tapping plates will
fall out of position.
Lubrication
The door striker plates and door dove-
tails are fitted with lubricating wicks.
These should be saturated with light oil.
The door hinge pins should be lubricated
with light oil. An oil pocket (A), Figure
22, is provided in the top surface of the
body half of the hinge adjacent to the hinge
pin and is accessible when the door is
open.
Ventilation
The glasses of the front door are di-
vided into two sections, each section being
controlled by a separate regulator handle.
The rear section of the glass moves up and
down in the conventional manner as the
regulator handle is turned.
By turning the regulator handle which controls the movement of the
forward section, the glass can be raised and lowered or swung to act as
a wind deflector when in the uppermost position. When this section of the
glass is up, it can be lowered in the left door by turning the control handle counter-
clockwise, while clockwise turning of the handle swings the wing outward.
This action is reversed for a given movement of the control handle of the right
door.
The raising and lowering of the rear door glasses in Sedans, the rear quarter
glasses in Broughams, is conventional by means of crank handles.
The rear quarter windows in the Sedans slide backward when the regulator
hand is turned. By moving the glass backward to give an opening of approxi-
