70 Convertible Top Weatherstrip Sealant 84b

[Bill L.]

The AIM calls out a sealant for top frame weatherstrips they label 84b. What exactly is this sealant? I do not see a great deal of sealant on the top frame where weatherstrips attach.

Thanks,


Bill

Bill,
In the 1970 AIM, section 0 page D9, it indicates that 84b is sealing compound part number 3910409. It also spells out other locations where this was used. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Mike.

Pretty sure it is the gray rope caulk.

I have used contact cement made by Weldwood. They have a off yellow that is very close to what you see on the cars. Properly applied I guarantee that your weatherstrip will not come loose

Bill,

I am of the opinion that the same sealant was used in those odd shaped chrome pieces where the screw for the t-top adjustment plate is. If you look at original cars the black sealant actually oozes out. On the majority of all restored cars it is cut even with the configuration of the chrome
tab.

Thank you Ron,

That is the way I was leaning. I finally did find a very tiny bit of the sealant on the frame.

Kind Regards,


Bill
