Prior to door adjustment or alignment, the door
latch must be removed to allow the door to close
freely and be properly aligned.
The door latch striker should be adjusted in or out
to allow the door latch to be fully engaged. The door
should be flush with the adjacent body panels.

(1) Mark the outline of the existing hinge on the
body and the door with a wax pencil for installation
alignment reference.
When removing the door or hinge DO NOT
discard the plastic shims or the hinge pin.
(2) Remove the hinge-to-body screws and the
hinge-to-door screws (Fig. 16). Remove the hinge
from the door and body.
The upper hinge is also part of the windshield
hinge (Fig. 16). When replacing it, support the
windshield frame with an appropriate device
prior to removal. Inspect the windshield align-
ment after hinge installation.
(3) Clean the replacement hinge with an appropri-
ate solvent and dry it with compressed air.

FULL-METAL DOOR WEATHERSTRIP SEALSÐYJ
The door weatherstrip seals are molded latex foam
with a smooth rubber reinforcement layer on the out-
side (Fig. 17).
Plastic retainers are used to retain the seal on the
door panel below the door beltline (Fig. 17). Above
the beltline, the seal is retained in a channel formed
in the door upper frame.
The beltline weatherstrip seals are retained within
the
door panels by spring-clip retainers (Fig. 17).
The door frame glass channel is retained within
the door frame by the press-fit between it and the
frame.
WEATHERSTRIP SEAL MAINTENANCE
Cold temperatures can cause rubber seals to
harden and lose resiliency. This possibly will cause
the door to loosen in the body opening and result in
noise. When servicing, use a dampened cloth to clean
the rubber seals. Remove the foreign material from
all areas where the rubber seal contacts the body
panels. Apply silicone lubricant to the seals after
they are cleaned.
CAUTION: Do not apply graphite, brake fluid, or
wax to rubber seals.
Replacement rubber weatherstrip seals are coated
with powder to prevent adhesion to the container
during storage. Before installation, remove all the
powder with a cloth dampened with a general pur-
pose adhesive removal solution.

REMOVAL
(1) Disengage the reveal molding around the pe-
rimeter of the windshield glass with an appropriate
tool.
(2) Remove the moldings from the windshield
frame.
(3) Inspect the reveal molding retainers. Replace
the molding if it has broken, distorted or ineffective
retainers.

each molding with a rubber mallet to seat the retain-
ers.
REARVIEW MIRRORÐYJ
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

torque.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the setscrew be-
cause glass chipping and/or breakage could result.
REARVIEW MIRROR RETAINING BRACKETÐYJ
REPLACEMENT
(1) Mark reference position lines for the mirror re-
taining bracket on theoutsideof the windshield
glass with a wax pencil. Mark both horizontal and
vertical reference lines for accurate bracket position-
ing.
(2) If the vinyl pad remained on the windshield
glass, soften and remove it with a heat gun. Applica-
tion of low heat will be sufficient to soften the pad.
(3) Thoroughly clean the bracket contact area on
the glass. Use a mild abrasive cleaning powder on a
cloth saturated with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Fi-
nal-clean the glass with a paper dampened with al-
cohol.
(4) Lightly sand the contact surface on the replace-
ment bracket with fine grit sandpaper. Next, wipe
the bracket contact surface clean with a paper towel
and alcohol.
(5) Apply adhesive accelerator to the contact sur-
face on the mirror bracket according to the following
instructions:
²crush the vial in the plastic housing of the accel-
erator to saturate the felt applicator.
²remove the paper sleeve.
²apply a generous amount of accelerator to the con-
tact surface on the mirror retaining bracket.
²do not touch the retaining bracket contact surface
after the accelerator has been applied.
²allow the accelerator to dry for at least five min-
utes. and
(6) Apply accelerator to bracket contact surface on
the windshield glass. Allow the accelerator to dry for
one minute. Do not touch the glass contact surface
after the accelerator has been applied.
(7) Install the mirror retaining bracket according
to the following instructions:
Fig. 1 Rearview Mirror Removal/Installation
23 - 144 STATIONARY GLASSÐYJJ

CAUTION: Be prepared to install the windshield
glass immediately after applying the adhesive. The
adhesive begins to cure within 10-15 minutes.
(12) Align the windshield with the grease pencil
marks (or the tape strips) and position windshield on
frame flanges.
(13) Force the windshield glass inward just enough
to wet-out and set urethane. Use care to avoid exces-
sive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(14) Water test the windshield with a cold water
spray after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at the urethane. Use a
moderate spray only. If any leaks are detected, apply
urethane as necessary.
(15) Install the windshield reveal molding and (if
used) remove the masking tape from the inner sur-
face of the glass.
(16) Install all removed components and clean the
vehicle. If necessary, refer to the applicable installa-
tion procedures.
(17) Open windows and liftgate to prevent pres-
sure build-up while the urethane is curing.
(18) Install the rearview mirror on the bracket and
tighten the mirror setscrew with 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 wind-
shield installation is completed.
(1) Remove all of the original urethane from all the
frame pinchweld flanges. Use an electric hot knife
and a plow-type knife blade to remove the adhesive.
(2) Inspect and repair the windshield frame and
the pinchweld flanges as necessary.
(3) Inspect and replace the reveal molding if the
retainers are damaged.
(4) Prime the frame pinchweld flanges with a ure-
thane base primer. However, if the flange is top-
coated with paint, prime the flanges with a paint
finish primer.This is important because ure-
thane adhesive will not adhere to all top coat
paints.
(5) Install the replacement interior trim molding
(Fig. 5) on the frame pinchweld flanges (Fig. 5).
(6) Install and inspect the fit of the windshield
glass on the pinchweld flanges according to the fol-
lowing instructions:
²Position the windshield glass on the flanges and
adjust the position until it is correctly aligned within
the windshield frame.
²Measure the gap between the frame and the glass
around the entire perimeter of the glass and the
flange.
²The gap should be at least 3 mm (1/8 in) but no
more than 6 mm (1/4 in) at any point around the pe-rimeter, and the flanges should be in complete con-
tact with the glass around the perimeter of the
frame.
(7) If the pinchweld flanges require repair, remove
the windshield glass and straighten, align, or repair
the flange(s) as necessary.
(8) Position the windshield on the flanges and in-
spect the windshield fit again. If the fit is acceptable,
mark windshield final position on the glass and the
frame. The marks (or masking tape) will be used for
installation alignment reference.
(9) If the replacement windshield glass does not
have blackout primer:
²Attach a 25-mm (1-in) wide masking tape band
around the interior side of the glass 16 mm (5/8 in)
from the edge of the glass (Fig. 6).
²Attach the tape only to the interior side of
the glass.
²Thoroughly mix and apply blackout primer to the
16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the interior side
of the glass (Fig. 6).
²Allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(10) Cut the urethane adhesive applicator nozzle
(Fig. 7).
(11) Apply a 3-mm (1/8-in) diameter bead of ure-
thane to the surface area.
CAUTION: Be prepared to install the windshield
glass immediately after applying the adhesive. The
adhesive begins to cure within 10-15 minutes.
(12) Align windshield with reference marks (or the
tape strips) and position it on the frame pinchweld
flanges.
(13) Force the windshield glass inward just enough
to wet-out and set urethane. Use care to avoid exces-
sive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(14) Water test the windshield with a cold water
spray after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at the urethane. Use a
moderate spray only. If any leaks are detected, apply
urethane as necessary.
(15) Install the windshield reveal molding and (if
used) remove the masking tape from the inner sur-
face of the glass.
(16) Install all the other previously removed com-
ponents and clean the vehicle. If necessary, refer to
the applicable installation procedures.
(17) Open windows and liftgate to prevent pres-
sure build-up while the urethane is curing.
(18) Install the rearview mirror on the bracket and
tighten the mirror setscrew to 2 Nzm (15 in-lbs)
torque.
