This is page BF-14 of a factory body (BF) service manual section titled "Interior and Exterior — Exterior." It covers installation of exterior moldings and weatherstrips on a wagon-body vehicle. Two exploded body illustrations (figure SBF280D) identify sixteen numbered molding and weatherstrip locations around the roof, doors, quarter panels, and back door. General cautions instruct the technician to apply sealing compound where necessary during installation and to prevent sealant from protruding from the parts. The page details two methods for installing the back door window molding: Method 1 (figure SBF409C) involves cutting off the top portion of the old molding, cleaning the glass and panel surfaces, applying sealant to the top portion of the molding, cutting the lower portion of the new molding, finishing for appearance, and installing the molding joint. Method 2 (figure SBF809A) involves cutting the sealant at the back door glass end, cleaning the mounting side of the panel, aligning the molding's center mark with vehicle center, installing tightly with no corner gaps, and fitting the molding joint. The page also introduces windshield and side window weatherstrip installation (figure SBF168B), instructing to apply sealant after cleaning the bonding surface for both weatherstrips.
