WARNING
WINDSHIELD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE
WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION.
IT TAKES AT LEAST 24 HOURS FOR URETHANE
ADHESIVE TO CURE. IF IT IS NOT CURED, THE
WINDSHIELD MAY NOT PERFORM PROPERLY IN
AN ACCIDENT.
²URETHANE ADHESIVES ARE APPLIED AS A
SYSTEM. USE GLASS CLEANER, GLASS PREP
SOLVENT, GLASS PRIMER, PVC (VINYL) PRIMER
AND PINCH WELD (FENCE) PRIMER PROVIDED BY

TURAL INTEGRITY COULD BE COMPROMISED.
²DAIMLERCHRYSLER DOES NOT RECOMMEND
GLASS ADHESIVE BY BRAND. TECHNICIANS
SHOULD REVIEW PRODUCT LABELS AND TECHNI-
CAL DATA SHEETS, AND USE ONLY ADHESIVES
THAT THEIR MANUFACTURES WARRANT WILL
RESTORE A VEHICLE TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF
FMVSS 212. TECHNICIANS SHOULD ALSO INSURE
THAT PRIMERS AND CLEANERS ARE COMPATIBLE
WITH THE PARTICULAR ADHESIVE USED.
²BE SURE TO REFER TO THE URETHANE MAN-
UFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS FOR CURING TIME
SPECIFICATIONS, AND DO NOT USE ADHESIVE
AFTER ITS EXPIRATION DATE.
²VAPORS THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THE URE-
THANE ADHESIVE OR PRIMER COULD CAUSE

SUNROOF
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Keep fingers and other body parts out
of sunroof opening at all times.
The sunroof features a power sliding glass panel
and a sunshade which can be manually positioned
anywhere along its travel, rearward of glass panel
front edge.
The sunroof is electrically operated from two
switches located on the windshield header, rearwardof the map lamp. To operate the sunroof the ignition
switch must be in either the Accessory or On/Run
position. One switch (vent) is a push button type and
opens the sunroof to the vent position only. The other
switch (open/close) is a rocker type for opening and
closing the sunroof. Pressing and releasing the open
button once the sunroof will express open and the
wind deflector will raise. If the button is pressed a
second time the sunroof will stop in that position.
Pressing and holding the close button will close the
sunroof. If the close button is released the sunroof
will stop in that position.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WATER DRAINAGE AND WIND NOISE
DIAGNOSIS
The sliding glass panel is designed to seal water
entry with a snug fit between the roof and the seal.
The fit can be checked by inserting a piece of paper
between the roof and the seal. The piece of paper
should have some resistance when pulled out when
the glass panel is in the closed position. The sunroof
housing will drain off a minimum amount of water.
Excessive wind noise could result if the gap clear-
ances are exceeded. The sunroof glass panel may
need to be adjusted. Refer to Sunroof Glass Panel
Adjustment for proper procedures.
Adequate drainage is provided by a drain trough in
the sunroof housing which encircles the sliding glass
panel and leads to drain hoses. If a wet headliner or
other water leak complaints are encountered, before
performing any adjustments, first ensure that the
drainage system is not plugged or disconnected. Use
a pint container to pour water into the sunroof hous-
ing drain trough. If water flow is restricted, use com-
pressed air to blow out any material plugging the
drain system. Retest system again.To further check for a disconnected drain hose:
(1) Remove A-pillar trim, sun visors, and map
lamps/mini console.
(2) Remove sunroof opening trim lace. Refer to
Sunroof Opening Trim Lace.
(3) Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to
sunroof housing drain tubes. (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
TERIOR/HEADLINER - REMOVAL)
(4) Repair as necessary.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
Before beginning sunroof diagnostics verify that all
other power accessories are in proper operating condi-
tion. Refer to Sunroof Diagnostic Chart for possible
causes. If not, a common electrical problem may exist.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams, in this publication for circuit,
splice and component descriptions. Check the condition
of the circuit protection (20 amp circuit breaker in cav-
ity 19 of the Junction Block). Inspect all wiring connec-
tor pins for proper engagement and continuity. Check
for battery voltage at the power sunroof controller, refer
to Wiring Diagrams, for circuit information. If battery
voltage of more than 10 volts is detected at the control-
ler, proceed with the following tests (the controller will
not operate at less than 10 volts).
