	4. Using the window regulator, turn window to the closed position. Take hold of the glass and shift to the rear slightly to disengage from regulator, then move the glass toward the front of the opening. Glass will now be free and may be lifted out of the opening. Replacement operations are the reverse of the foregoing. Town Sedan Quarter Gloss Regulator Removal 1. Remove the rear seat cushion and seat back cushion. 2. Remove the rear quarter garnish molding. Lower the glass and remove the glass run channel. 3. Remove the regulator handle and quarter trim. Raise the glass and remove the screws attaching the cam channel to the sash channel and remove the glass. 4. Slide the cam channel off the cams on the regulator and remove the channel. Remove the screws attaching the regulator and its cover to the inner panel, Fig. 34, then thread the regulator out of the inner panel. When replacing the regulator, thread the regulator arms in through the opening in the inner panel. Install the regulator cover and seal with FS-638 sealing compound. Install retaining screws, then slip the cam channel over the cams on the regulator. All other installation operations are just the reverse of the foregoing. DOOR OPENING WINDLACE The round trim covered weatherstrip all around the inner edge of the body door openings is a one-piece weatherstrip known as windlace. This windlace serves as an additional protection against wind and drafts entering the body around the doors. Fig. 37-Door Opening Windlace The edge of this wind-	lace is tacked to the tacking strip at all points around the inner edge of the door openings, and the lower ends are held by the door sill molding, with exception of that section on the front body hinge pillar. On this pillar the metal flange of the windlace is attached by screws to the inner edge of the pillar, as shown in Fig. 37. To remove or replace the windlace around the front door, remove the windshield garnish molding on the side involved, remove the cowl trim pad to expose the screws attaching the windlace metal flange to the pillar. Remove the windlace flange screws, including one screw through a tab at the lower face of the pillar, loosen the trim on the inner surface of the body lock pillar and over the door opening, and remove the door sill molding. Loosening the trim as outlined exposes the tacks holding the windlace to the body tacking strip. On rear door openings, to remove or replace the windlace, it is necessary to loosen the trim on the inner face of the body hinge and lock pillars, over the door opening, and the front edge of the rear quarter trim pad, to expose the windlace tacks to the body tacking strip. Remove the door sill molding. COWL VENTILATOR Removal 1. Working under the instrument panel, remove the bolt attaching the cowl ventilator control arm to the ventilator cover operating arm. Remove the ventilator cover hinge bracket bolts to the cowl hinges. 2. Remove the ventilator cover from the outside by shifting it to the right in the opening to free the right end, then to the left to free the left end. Replacement operations are the reverse of the foregoing. However, it is necessary that one person hold the ventilator cover firmly in the closed position while another installs and tightens the cover hinge bracket bolts to the hinges. (Cover hinge bracket bolt holes are slotted.) It is also necessary that the ventilator cover be fully closed and the control handle be backed down to the first notch while assembling the bolt holding the control arm to the operating arm. Cowl Ventilator Gasket This rubber gasket or seal is securely cemented into the channel around the cowl ventilator opening in the cowl panel, and the bottom flange of the ventilator cover seats and seals on it to prevent water leaks. In replacing this gasket, after removing the old gasket, carefully clean the channel. Remove all hardened cement, and sandpaper out any traces of rust. Make sure the drain is open. Cover the entire surface of the channel with
