SEATS
DESCRIPTION
Seat modules are made up of a seat frame, seat
cushion, seat back cushion, a covering material, and
the electrical components used for power operation, if
equipped. Some seat systems also contain seat belt
components and supplemental restraint systems.
OPERATION
Seat assemblies transport the occupants in comfort
and safety. Seat assemblies also help position occupants
correctly in the event of airbag deployment. Seat cush-
ions, coverings, and electrical components are service-
able. Refer to the appropriate group in this manual.

(2) Using a small flat blade screwdriver, disengage
locking tabs located under the console lid trim bezel.
(3) Separate bezel from lid.
(4) Move driver and passenger seat to full forward
position.
(5) Using a small drift and hammer, tap out con-
sole lid hinge pin.
(6) Separate lid from console.

should remain on the fence. Do not grind off or com-
pletely remove all old urethane from the fence, the
paint finish and bonding strength will be adversely
affected.
(1) Place replacement windshield into windshield
opening and position glass in the center of the open-
ing against the support spacers. Mark the outside
surface of the glass at the support spacers with a
grease pencil or pieces of masking tape and ink pen
to use as a reference for installation. Remove replace-
ment windshield from windshield opening (Fig. 9).
(2) Position the windshield inside up on a suitable
work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by 10 cm
by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks, placed par-
allel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 10).
(3) Clean inside of windshield with MOPAR Glass
Cleaner and lint-free cloth.
(4) Apply clear glass primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide
around perimeter of windshield and wipe with a new
clean and dry lint- free cloth.
(5) Apply the molding to the windshield:
(a) Press the upper corners of the molding onto
the windshield.
(b) Press the header section onto the windshield.
(c) Press the A-Pillar sections onto the wind-
shield.
(6) Apply black-out primer onto the glass using the
windshield molding as a guide. The primer should be
15 mm (5/8 in.) wide on the top and sides of the glass
and 25 mm (1 in.) on the bottom of windshield. Allow
at least three minutes drying time.
(7) Locatenewsupport spacers on support brack-
ets and adjust to lowest height.
(8) Position one 5 mm (3/16 in.) soft spacer (p/n
55028214) at the bottom of the windshield fence (Fig.
11).(9) Apply a 13mm (1/2 in.) high and 10mm (3/8 in.)
wide bead of urethane around the perimeter of wind-
shield. At the bottom, apply the bead 7 mm (1/4 in.)
inboard from the glass edge. On the three sides
where the molding is on the glass, follow the edge of
molding. The urethane bead should be shaped in a
triangular cross-section, this can be achieved by
notching the tip of the applicator (Fig. 12).
(10) With the aid of a helper, position the wind-
shield over the windshield opening. Align the refer-
ence marks at the bottom of the windshield to the
support spacers.

(2) Remove the latch retaining screws from the cab
rear side panel (Fig. 14).
(3) Remove the frame/hinge retaining nuts from
the B-pillar.
(4) Remove the window glass from the cab.
(5) If necessary, remove the latch from the glass.

(1) If removed, install the latch to the glass.
Tighten the screw to 6 N´m (60 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Center the window glass at the opening, insert
the hinge studs in the B-pillar holes, and install the
retaining nuts. Tighten the nuts to 11 N´m (95 in.
lbs.) torque.
(3) Attach the latch to the rear side panel with the
screws. Tighten the screws with the latch in the lock
position and pushing rearward on the latch. Tighten
the screws to 11 N´m (95 in. lbs.) torque.(4) Test the vent window for water leaks.
(5) Install quarter trim panel.

(7)With the compressor clutch engaged, record the
panel outlet discharge air temperature, the discharge
pressure (high side), and the suction pressure (low side).
(8) Compare the panel outlet discharge air temper-
ature reading to the Performance Temperature and
Pressure chart. If the temperature reading is high,
clamp off both heater hoses (inlet and outlet), wait
five minutes and record the temperature again. Com-
pare the second reading to the Performance Temper-ature and Pressure chart. If the temperature reading
is now OK, see Temperature Control Cable in the
Removal and Installation section and in the Adjust-
ments section of this group. If the temperature read-
ing is still too high, (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING), and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE) in this group.
