CAUTION: Avoid spilling or dripping primer on
painted surfaces. Clean spills or drips immediately.
The primer will damage the paint if it remains on
the surface for any length of time.
²thoroughly mix and apply glass blackout primer to
the 16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the interior
side of the glass (Fig. 15); then
²allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(11) Cut the urethane adhesive applicator nozzle
according to the instructions in Figure 16.
(12) Apply a continuous, 6-mm (1/4-in) diameter
bead of urethane adhesive to the surface area.
CAUTION: Be prepared to install glass immediately
after applying the adhesive. The adhesive begins to
cure within 10-15 minutes.(13) Align the glass with the reference marks and po-
sition the glass on the pinchweld flanges. Ensure that
the windshield glass is correctly seated on the support
spacers.
(14) Force the windshield glass inward just enough
to wet-out and set the urethane. Use care to avoid
excessive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(15) Water test the windshield with a water spray
after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at urethane. If any leaks
are detected, apply urethane as necessary.
(16) Install reveal mouldings and (if used) remove
the masking tape from the inner surface of the glass.
(17) Install all components and clean the vehicle.
(18) Open the vehicle windows to prevent interior
pressure while the urethane is curing.If not
vented, pressure in the interior of the vehicle
may interfere with proper glass bonding.
(19) Install the rearview mirror on the bracket and
tighten mirror setscrew to 2 Nzm (15 in-lbs) torque.
INSTALLATIONÐEXTENDED METHOD
Normally, after a windshield is installed, the rear-
view mirror bracket also requires installation.Do not
install the bracket until after the windshield in-
stallation is completed.
(1) Remove the all of urethane from all pinchweld
flanges. Use an electric hot knife and a plow-type
knife blade to remove the adhesive.
(2) Inspect and repair the windshield opening and
pinchweld flanges (Fig. 11).
(3) Inspect and replace any reveal moulding clips if
bent, distorted, broken or loose (Fig. 12).
(4) Prime the pinchweld flanges with a urethane
base primer (Fig. 17). However, if the flange is color-
coated with paint, prime the flanges with a paint fin-
ish primer.This is important because urethane
adhesive will not adhere to all color-coat
paints.Allow primer sufficient time to dry.

to the window channel in the weatherstrip seal.
(3) Install the weatherstrip on the window glass.
Install the seal installation cord in the window open-
ing flange channel (Fig. 24) using as follows:
²moisten a length of 6-mm (1/4-in) diameter cord
with a soap and water solution;
²ensure that the cord is long enough to go all the
way around the perimeter of the weatherstrip; and
²insert the cord into the window opening flange
channel in the weatherstrip seal.
(4) Apply a 6-mm (1/4-in) diameter bead of sealant
to the window opening flanges.

TRAILER HITCHES
CLASS III HITCHÐXJ VEHICLES
A class III weight-distributing/equalizer type hitch
can be used to tow a trailer:
²having a maximum gross weight of 5,000 lbs/2250
kg, and
²having a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs/332
kg).
The following vehicle basic equipment is required
for class III trailer towing:
²P205/75R15 or larger tires;
²full size spare tire;
²trailer sway control;
²trailer tow wire harness and connector;
²heavy duty turn signal flasher element;
²heavy duty axle (with synthetic lubricant);²heavy duty cooling system;
²heavy duty generator/battery;
²auxiliary automatic transmission fluid cooler; and
²I-6, 4.0L engine.
Wide-angle type door mirrors are recommended but
not required.
WIRE HARNESS CONNECTORS
CLASS I HITCH CONNECTOR
The trailer tow wire harness connector for class I
trailer hitches is a 5-terminal, in-line type connector.
Terminal 5 is the source for vehicle ground.
CLASS III HITCH CONNECTOR
The trailer tow wire harness connector for class III
trailer-tow hitches is a 7-terminal, circular type con-
nector.
The 12-volt circuit for the trailer is protected
from overloads. A auto-reset type circuit
breaker is located in the trailer tow wire har-
ness near the plug-in relays.
CAUTION: The trailer tow wire harness package
does not include a vehicle battery isolator unit. Be-
cause of this, the trailer battery can totally dis-
charge the vehicle battery if the engine is not
operated for an extended period of time.
