tion as removed.
(4) Inspect the springs and retainer for cracks and
possible signs of weakening.
(5) Install an air hose adaptor in the fuel injector
hole.
(6) Connect an air hose to the adapter and apply
air pressure slowly. Maintain at least 621 kPa (90psi) of air pressure in the cylinder to hold the valves
against their seats.
(7) Tap the retainer or tip with a rawhide hammer
to loosen the lock from the retainer. Use Valve Spring
Compressor Tool to compress the spring and remove
the locks.
(8) Remove valve spring and retainer.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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
PINCHWELD (FENCE) PRIMER PROVIDED BY THE
ADHESIVE MANUFACTURER. IF NOT, STRUCTURAL
INTEGRITY COULD BE COMPROMISED.
CHRYSLER DOES NOT RECOMMEND GLASS
ADHESIVE BY BRAND. TECHNICIANS SHOULD
REVIEW PRODUCT LABELS AND TECHNICAL 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 PRIM-
ERS 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.
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.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WINDSHIELD
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.
WINDSHIELD REMOVAL ± EXTERIOR METHOD
(1) Remove inside rear view mirror.
(2) Remove windshield wiper arms.
(3) Remove cowl cover.
(4) Remove A-pillar trim panels.
(5) Disconnect wire connectors to windshield
defroster grid.
(6) Place protective covers over instrument panel
and hood.
(7) Remove windshield molding (Fig. 1). Using pli-
ers, pull outward on molding at the bottom of A-pil-
lars.
(8) Using a sharp cold knife, cut urethane adhe-
sive holding the windshield to the A-pillars, roof
header and cowl pinch weld fences (Fig. 2). A power
cutting device can be used if available.
(9) Remove windshield from vehicle.
23 - 4 BODYNS

(16) Clean access urethane from exterior with
MopartSuper Kleen or equivalent.
(17) 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.
(18) Engage wire connectors to windshield
defroster grid.
(19) Install A-pillar trim panels.
(20) Install cowl cover and wipers.
(21) Install inside rear view mirror.
(22) After urethane has cured, remove tape strips
and water test windshield to verify repair.
BODY SIDE/SLIDING DOOR STATIONARY GLASS
The temperature of the vehicle should be at least
21É C (70É F) before removing the stationary quarter/
sliding door glass. Butyl sealer becomes more pliable
at high temperatures.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove interior trim as necessary to gain
access attaching locations on back of glass.
(2) Remove nuts holding stationary glass to fence.
(3) Using razor knife, cut butyl sealer holding
glass to fence from between the mounting studs (Fig.
6).
(4) Push glass from opening.
INSTALLATION
The stationary glass fence should be cleaned of all
old butyl sealer.
(1) Applya6mm(0.25 in.) butyl tape around
perimeter of glass assembly encapsulation track.
Ensure that the butyl tape is wrapped around the
mounting studs.
(2) Place the glass into the opening and insert
mounting studs through holes in fence.
(3) Install nuts to hold stationary glass to fence.

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, if equipped.
(2) Remove screws holding moldings to liftgate at
the sides of the rear window (Fig. 7).
(3) Using pliers, pull outward on molding at the
top and bottom of liftgate.
(4) Using a sharp cold knife, cut urethane adhe-
sive holding the rear window to the liftgate. A power
cutting device can be used if available (Fig. 2).
(5) Remove rear window from vehicle.
REAR WINDOW REMOVAL ± INTERIOR
METHOD
(1) Remove rear window wiper arm, if equipped.
(2) Remove screws holding moldings to liftgate at
the sides of the rear window (Fig. 7).
(3) Remove liftgate inside lamps and trim covers.
(4) Remove center high mounted stop lamp.
(5) 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.
(6) Remove rear window from vehicle.
REAR WINDOW INSTALLATION
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. 4).
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 molding to top and bottom of rear win-
dow.
(8) 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.
(9) Apply Glass Primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around
perimeter of rear window. Allow at least three min-
utes drying time.
(10) Apply Pinchweld Primer 15 mm (.75 in.) wide
around the rear window fence. Allow at least three
minutes drying time.
(11) If a low viscosity urethane adhesive is used,
install compression spacers on the fence around the
rear window opening (Fig. 8).
(12) Apply a 10 mm (0.4 in.) bead of urethane
along center line of rear window fence.

fence. Guide the molding into proper position as nec-
essary. Push glass inward until molding is flush to
liftgate surface (Fig. 8).
(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.
