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.

GEN II Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant or equiva-
lent.

INSTALLATION).
WINDSHIELD
DESCRIPTION
The windshield is attached to the window frame
with urethane adhesive. The urethane adhesive is
applied cold and seals the surface area between the
window opening and the glass. The primer adheres
the urethane adhesive to the windshield.
It is difficult to salvage a windshield during the
removal 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 ure-
thane, 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.
REMOVAL
(1)Remove inside rear view mirror. (Refer to 23 -
BODY/INTERIOR/REAR VIEW MIRROR - REMOVAL).
(2) Remove cowl grill. (Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTE-
RIOR/COWL GRILLE - REMOVAL).
(3) With doors open, remove windshield molding
(Fig. 7). Pull outward on molding beginning at the
bottom of A-pillars using pliers.
(4) Cut urethane bonding from around windshield
using a suitable sharp cold knife (C-4849). A pneu-
matic cutting device can be used but is not recom-
mended (Fig. 8).
(5) Separate windshield from vehicle.

INSTALLATION
WARNING: Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to
cure before returning the vehicle to use.
CAUTION: Roll down the left and right front door
glass and open the rear glass slider (if available)
before installing windshield to avoid pressurizing
the passenger compartment if a door is slammed
before urethane is cured. Water leaks can result.
The windshield fence should be cleaned of most of its
old urethane bonding material. A small amount of old
urethane, approximately 1-2 mm in height, shouldremain on the fence. Do not grind off or completely
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 windshield.
(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.
(11)
Slowly lower windshield glass to the fence open-
ing guiding the lower corners into proper position.
Beginning at the bottom and continuing to the top, push
glass onto fence along the A-Pillars. Push windshield
inward to the fence at the bottom corners (Fig. 13).
(12) Push windshield upward, snug with roof and
ratchet up the adjustable support brackets. Discard
tab from support spacer.
(13) Using clean water, lightly mist the support
spacers.

(14) Clean excess urethane from exterior with
MOPARtSuper Clean or equivalent.
(15) Apply 150 mm (6 in.) lengths of 50 mm (2 in.)
masking tape spaced 250 mm (10 in.) apart to hold
molding in place until urethane cures.
(16) Install cowl grill. (Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTE-
RIOR/COWL GRILLE - INSTALLATION).
(17) Install rear view mirror support bracket.
(Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/REAR VIEW MIR-
ROR - INSTALLATION).
(18)
Install rear view mirror. (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
TERIOR/REAR VIEW MIRROR - INSTALLATION).
(19) After urethane has cured, remove tape strips
and water test windshield to verify repair.
