(32) Feed power mirror wire harness inboard
through the A-pillar.
(33) Remove the bolts attaching the instrument
panel frame to the dash panel below windshield
opening.
(34) With the help of an assistant remove the
instrument panel from vehicle. Lift the instrument
panel up off the HVAC so you won't damage the seal-
ing surface of the distribution duct.
If the instrument panel is being replaced, transfer
all parts to the new instrument panel assembly.
INSTALLATION
(1) With the help of an assistant place the instru-
ment panel into vehicle on roll down bolts. As youroll the instrument panel up, lift the instrument
panel up so the duct work does not bind or bend and
you can set it down on the HVAC housing to get the
proper seal at the distribution duct. Get one bolt
started in the dash panel.
(2) Install the left and right side A-pillar retaining
bolts. There are two 13 mm bolts and one 10 mm
bolt. The 10 mm bolts need to be installed first to
insure proper positioning of the Instrument panel in
the vehicle. Start the right side 10 mm bolt first (Fig.
6).
(3) Feed power mirror wire harness outboard
through the A-pillar.
(4) Install both the left and right power mirrors:
(a) Connect the wire connector and install the
mirror onto the vehicle.
(b) Install the three torx retaining screws.
(c) Using a firm push, snap the mirror trim
cover into place.
(5) Connect the two front window defroster grid
wire connectors. One on each side of vehicle.
(6) Tighten the right side roll down bolt.
(7) Install the right end cover. Position over retain-
ing slots and firmly snap into place.
(8) Connect the right side wire connectors to the
HVAC behind the glove box area and the two
antenna connectors behind the glove box hinge.
(9) Install the bolts attaching the instrument
panel frame to the dash panel below windshield
opening.
(10) Install the instrument panel top cover. Slide
the front edge of the top cover toward dash panel,
and firmly snap down the rear edge of the to cover to
engage clips.

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
structural 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.
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.
URETHANE ADHESIVES ARE APPLIED AS A SYS-
TEM. USE GLASS CLEANER, GLASS PREP SOL-
VENT, GLASS PRIMER, PVC (VINYL) PRIMER AND
PINCH WELD (FENCE) PRIMER PROVIDED BY THE
ADHESIVE MANUFACTURER. IF NOT, STRUCTURAL
INTEGRITY COULD BE COMPROMISED.
DAIMLERCHRYSLER DOES NOT RECOMMEND
GLASS ADHESIVE BY BRAND. TECHNICIANS
SHOULD REVIEW PRODUCT LABELS AND TECHNI-
CAL DATA SHEETS, AND USE ONLY ADHESIVESTHAT 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.
BE SURE TO REFER TO THE URETHANE MANU-
FACTURER'S DIRECTIONS FOR CURING TIME
SPECIFICATIONS, AND DO NOT USE ADHESIVE
AFTER 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. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
RESULT.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HAND PROTECTION
WHEN WORKING WITH GLASS.
CAUTION: Protect all painted and 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.
REMOVAL
WINDSHIELD REMOVAL ± EXTERIOR METHOD
The urethane adhesive holding the windshield to
the opening pinch weld (fence) can be cut using a
sharp cold knife from the exterior of the vehicle.
Using the cold knife method is effective if the wind-
shield is already broken. If the glass must be sal-
vaged, cutting the urethane adhesive from the
interior of the vehicle using a reciprocating or oscil-
lating power knife is recommended.
(1) Remove inside rear view mirror.
(2) Remove windshield wiper arms.
(3) Remove cowl cover.

(2) Open quarter glass to vent position.
(3) Disengage quarter window retainer from vent
motor arm.
(4) Remove nuts attaching quarter glass to C-pillar
(Fig. 5).
(5) Use magnetic socket to prevent dropping into
the pillar.
(6) Remove quarter glass from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Place quarter glass in position on vehicle.
(2) Install nuts attaching quarter glass to C-pillar.

REAR DOOR GLASS
REMOVAL
Refer to the Safety Precautions in this section for
description of tools and adhesive systems that are
recommended for use in this procedure.
REAR WINDOW REMOVAL ± EXTERIOR METHOD
(1) Remove rear window wiper arm.
(2) Remove interior trim covers.
(3) Disconnect wires for electrically heated win-
dow, if equipped.(4) Using a sharp cold knife, cut urethane adhe-
sive attaching the rear window to the liftgate. A
power cutting device can be used if available (Fig. 1).
(5) Remove rear window from vehicle.
REAR WINDOW REMOVAL ± INTERIOR METHOD
(1) Remove rear window wiper arm.
(2) Remove interior trim covers.
(3) Disconnect wires for electrically heated win-
dow, if equipped.
(4) Using a reciprocating or oscillating power
knife, cut urethane adhesive holding the rear window
to the liftgate. Refer to instructions provided with
the equipment being used.
(5) Remove rear window from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Refer to the Safety Precautions in this section for
description of tools and adhesive systems that are
recommended for use in this procedure.
CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before
installing rear window to avoid pressurizing the
passenger compartment. If a door is slammed
before urethane bonding is cured, water leaks can
result.
Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to cure before
returning the vehicle to use.
To avoid stressing the replacement rear window,
the urethane bonding material on the rear window
fence should be smooth and consistent to the
shape of the replacement glass.
(1) Place replacement glass into rear window open-
ing.
(2) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the
replacement rear window. If not, the fence must be
formed to the shape of the new glass.
(3) Using a grease pencil, mark the glass and lift-
gate in several locations to aid installation.
(4) Remove replacement glass from liftgate open-
ing.
(5) Position the rear window inside up on a suit-
able work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by
10 cm by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks,
placed parallel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 2).
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOLVENT BASED GLASS
CLEANER TO CLEAN REAR WINDOW BEFORE
APPLYING GLASS PREP AND PRIMER. POOR
ADHESION CAN RESULT.
(6) Clean inside of rear window with ammonia
based glass cleaner and lint-free cloth.
(7) Apply Glass Prep adhesion promoter 25 mm (1
in.) wide around perimeter of rear window and wipe

with clean/dry lint-free cloth until no streaks are vis-
ible.
(8) Apply Glass Primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around
perimeter of rear window. Allow at least three min-
utes drying time.
(9) Apply Pinch weld Primer 19 mm (0.75 in.) wide
around the rear window fence. Allow at least three
minutes drying time.
(10) If a low viscosity urethane adhesive is used,
install compression spacers on the fence around the
rear window opening.
(11) Apply a 10 mm (0.4 in.) bead of urethane
along center line of rear window fence.
CAUTION: Be careful so that spacers do not con-
tamianate urethane bead.
(12) Apply 2 glass spacer clips to bottom edge of
glass, approximately 1.5 mm (0.6 in) inboard from
each corner.(13) With the aid of a helper, position the rear
window over the rear window opening and align the
reference marks.
(14) Slowly lower glass to rear window opening
fence. Ensure spacers on bottom edge of glass contact
sheet metal ledge. Then, push glass inward until
flush to liftgate surface.
(15) Clean excess urethane from exterior with
MopartSuper Kleen, or equivalent.
(16) 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.
(17) Install rear window wiper arm.
(18) Install interior trim.
(19) After urethane has cured, remove tape strips,
slide out bottom spacer clips, and then water test
rear window to verify repair.
