LIFTGATE SUPPORT ROD CYLINDER DISPOSALÐ
XJ
WARNING: SAFETY GOGGLES MUST BE WORN
DURING THE DISPOSAL PROCEDURE. THE HIGH
PRESSURE GAS CHARGE IN THE SUPPORT ROD
CYLINDERS WILL BE RELEASED DURING THE
PROCEDURE.
(1) Remove the support rod cylinder(s) from the
liftgate.
(2) Position the support rod cylinder horizontally
in a vise and clamp the cylinder securely.
(3) Wrap the cylinder with 4-5 layers of shop tow-
els.
(4) Measure 1 and 1/2 inches inward from the end
of the cylinder. Mark this location on the towels with
chalk. The cylinder will be punctured at this location
to release the gas charge.
(5) Use a punch and hammer to puncture cylinder.
Force the punch through towels and into the cylinder
with a hammer. Continue striking the punch until
the gas begins to escapebut do not remove the
punch.
(6) Hold the towels and punch in position until all
the gas has escaped. Complete de-pressurization will
require about 4 to 10 seconds. After all the gas has
escaped, slowly remove the punch.
(7) Hold a towel over the hole in cylinder and press
the support rod piston all the way into the cylinder
to purge remaining oil.
(8) Remove the support rod cylinder from the vise
and discard it.
(9) If both support rod cylinders are being re-
placed, repeat this procedure for the remaining cylin-
der.

(5) Remove the ball stud from the liftgate with a
T-30 Torx-head socket wrench (Fig. 3).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the replacement ball stud in the liftgate
with a T-30 Torx-head socket wrench. Tighten the
ball stud to 7 Nzm (62 in-lbs) torque.
(2) Connect the support rod to the ball stud.
(3) Secure the support rod to the ball stud with the
clip.
(4) Remove the support from the liftgate and test
the operation of support rod.
LIFTGATE ADJUSTMENTÐXJ
SERVICE INFORMATION
The position of the liftgate can be adjusted upward
or downward, and inward or outward by the use of
hinge shims. The liftgate stop bumpers must also be
adjusted if liftgate hinges are adjusted. The inward/
outward position of each stop bumper is adjusted by
the use of shims (Fig. 4).
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
(1) To move the position of the liftgate inward or
outward, remove or add shims between the hinge-
halves and liftgate.
(2) To move the position of the liftgate upward or
downward, remove or add shims between the hinge-
halves and roof panel.

INSTALLATION
(1) Apply adhesive to the act surface on the sup-
port bracket according as follows:
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 support bracket.
²do not touch the support bracket contact surface
after the accelerator has been applied.
²
allow the accelerator to dry for at least five minutes.
and
(2) Apply accelerator to the support bracket con-
tact surface on the windshield glass. Allow the accel-
erator to dry for one minute.
(3) Install the mirror bracket on the windshield
glass as follows:
²apply one drop of adhesive at the center of support
bracket contact surface on windshield glass.
²immediately apply an even coat of adhesive to the
contact surface on the support bracket.
²align the support bracket with the position refer-
ence lines on the windshield glass, then
²press and hold the support bracket in-place for at
least one minute.
Ensure that the mirror support bracket is
correctly aligned because the adhesive will
cure rapidly.
(4) Allow the adhesive to cure for 8-10 minutes,
then remove any residue adhesive with an alcohol-
dampened cloth.
(5) Allow the adhesive to cure for an additional
8-10 minutes before installing the mirror base on the
support bracket.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE
WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION.
IT TAKES AT LEAST 24 HOURS FOR THE URE-
THANE ADHESIVE TO CURE. IF IT IS NOT CURED,
THE WINDSHIELD MAY NOT PERFORM PROPERLY
IN AN ACCIDENT.
URETHANE ADHESIVES ARE APPLIED AS A SYS-
TEM. USE GLASS CLEANER, GLASS PREP SOL-
VENT, GLASS PRIMER, AND PINCHWELD (FENCE)
PRIMER PROVIDED BY THE ADHESIVE MANUFAC-
TURER. IF NOT, STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY COULD
BE COMPROMISED.
BE SURE TO REFER TO THE URETHANE MANU-
FACTURER'S DIRECTIONS FOR CURING TIME
SPECIFICATIONS, AND DO NOT USE ADHESIVE AF-
TER ITS EXPIRATION DATE.
VAPORS THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THE URE-
THANE ADHESIVE OR PRIMER COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY, USE THEM IN A WELL VENTI-
LATED AREA.
SKIN CONTACT WITH URETHANE ADHESIVE
SHOULD BE AVOIDED, OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY
RESULT.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HAND PROTECTION
WHEN WORKING WITH GLASS.
CAUTION: Protect all painted or trimmed surfaces
from coming in contact with urethane or primers.
Be careful not to damage painted surfaces when
removing moldings or cutting urethane around
windshield.
It is difficult to salvage a windshield during the re-
moval operation. The windshield is part of the struc-
tural support for the roof. The urethane bonding
used to secure the windshield to the fence is difficult
to cut or clean from any surface. If the moldings are
set in urethane, it would also be unlikely they could
be salvaged. Before removing the windshield, check
the availability of the windshield and moldings from
the parts supplier.
