Roof Rail Sealant and Gaskets
« on: February 19, 2008 - 07:30:36 PM »
Does anyone have an exploded view or details related to the type and order of installation for sealant, gaskets and parts associated with the roof rail assembly on a 71 Challenger?  The service manual I have does not provide near the detail needed.  :clueless:  Thanks

Here's the pictures I took of my 72 Cuda when dis-assembling it.  I'll post them in reverse order.  Hope these help.

Travis,
Thanks a bunch!  :thumbsup:  That really is a big help to me.  I've got a few pics, but they are not good quality and I did not have the order down.  They are pretty much useless.  After looking at your pics I have something to help guide me along.  In your first pic of the main roof rail, is that weatherstriping putty or a gasket between the roof metal and the roof rail?  I seem to recall a bunch of gooey tar-like sealant when I pulled mine apart and I'm guessing that was a water seal underneath the main rail.  Well, time to pull out all the weatherstriping stuff I purchased and see if anything looks familiar.  Mucho Gracias  :smokin:
