HARD TOP QUARTER WINDOW GLASSÐYJ
REMOVAL
(1) Cover surface areas with protective covering to
avoid paint damage and extra clean-up time.
(2) Remove the reveal molding (Fig. 8).
(3) Make a preliminary cut around the perimeter
of the window glass along the glass edge with a razor
knife.
CAUTION: When cutting through the urethane with
a hot knife blade, do not allow the knife blade to re-
main stationary at any location.
(4) Cut the adhesive bead with a hot knife and a
hooked knife blade.
(5) Start hot knife between glass and urethane.
Next, cut the adhesive as close to the glass edge as
possible. Allow as much adhesive to remain on the
window opening flange as possible.For best cutting
results, clean the knife blade frequently with
steel wool while the blade is hot.
(6) Remove the window glass from the opening
(Fig. 8).
(7) After the hot knife blade has cooled, clean the
hot knife blade with solvent and a cloth. Sharpen the
blade with a fine-tooth file.
INSTALLATION
(1) Inspect the window opening (Fig. 8) Prime any
bare spots with urethane primer. Allow a minimum
of 18 minutes for dry time.(2) Inspect the urethane bead for high spots. Level
the bead by shaving off high spots with a razor knife.
This is necessary for a flush-fit of the window glass.
(3) Inspect the window molding. Replace the mold-
ing if damaged.
(4) Clean the outer edge of the window glass with
naphtha or a similar product.
(5) Prime the outer perimeter of the interior side of
the glass 16 mm (5/8 inch) from the edge. Use a
wipe-off type urethane primer and wipe the glass dry
after primer application.
(6) Place windshield in the opening and inspect for
gaps in the urethane. Gaps in excess of 3 mm (1/8
inch) must be filled with urethane.
(7) Adjust window glass position until it is aligned
with the opening and the adhesive.
(8) Remove the window glass and position it on a
flat surface.
(9) If the replacement window glass does not have
blackout primer:
²Attach a 25-mm (1-in) wide masking tape band
around the interior side of the glass 16 mm (5/8 in)
from the edge of the glass.
²Attach the tape only to the interior side of
the glass.
²Thoroughly mix and apply blackout primer to the
16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the interior side
of the glass.
²Allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(10) Apply a 3-mm (1/8-in) diameter bead of ure-
thane to the surface area with the blackout primer
on the interior side of the glass.
CAUTION: Be prepared to install glass immediately
after applying the adhesive. The adhesive begins to
cure within 10-15 minutes.
(11) Align the window glass with the grease pencil
alignment reference marks (or the tape strips) and
position it in the window opening.
(12) Force glass inward just enough to wet-out and
set urethane. Use care to avoid excessive squeeze-out
of adhesive.
(13) Water test with a cold water spray after in-
stallation. Do not direct high pressure streams of wa-
ter directly at the urethane. Use a moderate spray
only. If any leaks are detected, apply urethane as
necessary.
(14) Install the window reveal molding and (if
used) remove the masking tape from the inner sur-
face of the glass.
(15) Clean the vehicle.
(16) Open windows and liftgate to prevent pres-
sure build-up while the urethane is curing.

HEATERÐYJ
A blend-air heating system is used in YJ vehicles.
The blend-air system provides a constant flow of en-
gine coolant through the heater core.
The air control lever (Fig. 1) operates a door in the
fresh air intake duct. The door controls the amount
of fresh air flow into the heater housing and core.
When the lever is in the OFF position, the intake
door is closed preventing air flow into the housing.
The temperature control lever (Fig. 1) determines
air flow through the heater core. The lever operates
the heater housing blend-air door which controls air
flow through the core.The blower motor is operated by the control switch
(Fig. 1). The switch provides 3 blower speeds for in-
creased air flow in heat or defrost mode.
DEFROSTING
The heater housing has a defroster door to divert
heated air to the defroster duct and outlets (Fig. 2).
Defrost air flow is controlled by the air control lever.
For defroster operation, the air control lever must
be moved to the defrost detent. The detent is identi-
fied by the defrost symbol on the control panel. In
this position, the defroster door diverts the heated
air from the core to the defroster duct outlets.
If air control lever is moved to any position be-
tween heat and defrost, the defroster door does not
close completely. In this mode, the door remains par-
tially open causing heated air to be divided equally
between the heat and defrost outlets.
FRESH AIR VENTILATION
The fresh air ventilating system (Fig. 3) is operated
by the air control lever. When the lever is moved to
VENT position, outside air from the cowl intake
flows into the heater housing. Incoming air is di-
rected into the vehicle interior through vent doors in
the housing.
A door in the intake duct controls air flow into the
duct. The door is operated by a vacuum motor. The

REFRIGERANT OIL
It is important to have the correct amount of oil in
the A/C system. This will ensure proper lubrication of
the compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to
the compressor. Too much oil will reduce the cooling
capacity of the system.
The oil used in the SD7H15 compressor is a poly-
alkylene glycol synthetic oil SP-20 PAG, wax-free re-
frigerant oil. Only refrigerant oil of the same type
should be used to service the system. Do not use any
other oil. The oil container should be kept tightly
capped until it is ready for use and then capped after
use to prevent contamination. Refrigerant oil will
quickly absorb any moisture it comes in contact with.
OIL LEVEL CHECK
It will not be necessary to check oil level in the
compressor or to add oil unless there has been an oil
loss. This may be due to a rupture or leak from a
line, shaft seal, evaporator or condenser. Oil loss at a
leak point will be evident by the presence of a wet,
shiny surface around the leak.
When an A/C system is assembled at the factory,
all components (except the compressor) are refriger-
ant oil free. After the system has been charged and
operated, the oil in the compressor is dispersed
through the system. The receiver-drier, evaporator,
condenser and compressor will retain a significant
amount of oil.
Refrigerant oil must be added when a receiver-
drier, evaporator, condenser or compressor are re-
placed. When the compressor is replaced, the oil
must be drained from the replaced compressor and
measured. Drain all the oil from the new compressor.
Add back into the new compressor the amount of oil
that was drained out of the old compressor.
Add an additional 30 ml (1 fluid oz.) of com-
pressor oil to the system when a receiver-drier,
condenser or evaporator is replaced.
AIR CONDITIONING PERFORMANCE TESTS
Humidity has an important bearing on the temper-
ature of the air delivered to the vehicle's interior. It
is important to understand the effect humidity has
on the performance of the system. When humidity is
high, the evaporator has to perform a double duty. It
must lower the air temperature and the temperature
of the moisture carried in the air. Condensing the
moisture in the air transfers a great deal of heat en-
ergy into the evaporator fins and tubing. This re-
duces the amount of heat the evaporator can absorb
from the air. High humidity greatly reduces the evap-
orator's ability to lower the temperature of the air.Evaporator capacity used to reduce the amount of
moisture in the air is not wasted. Wringing some of
the moisture out of the air entering the vehicle adds
to the comfort of the passengers. However, an owner
may expect too much from their air conditioning sys-
tem on humid days. A performance test is the best
way to determine whether or not the system is per-
forming up to standard. This test also provides valu-
able clues to the possible cause of trouble.
Air temperature in test room must be 21ÉC (70ÉF)
minimum for this test.
(1) Connect a Tachometer and manifold gauge set.
(2) Set A/C controls to Max A/C, temperature lever
on full cool and blower on high.
(3) Start engine and adjust idle to 1,000 RPM with
A/C clutch engaged.
(4) Engine should be warmed up with doors, win-
dows and hood closed.
(5) Insert a thermometer in the left center A/C out-
let. Operate the A/C and engine for 5 minutes. The
A/C clutch may cycle depending on ambient temper-
atures.
(6) After 5 minutes note the discharge air temper-
ature. If the clutch cycles, take the reading before
the clutch disengages.
(7) On LHD XJ vehicles open the hood and discon-
nect vacuum line going to the heater water control
valve. Observe the valve arm for movement as the
line is disconnected. Plug the vacuum line to prevent
leakage. If it does not move repair vacuum circuit.
(8) Operate the A/C for 2 more minutes and take
the discharge air temperature reading again. On XJ
vehicles if the temperature increased by more than
2ÉC (5ÉF) check the blend air door cable for correct
operation.
(9) Compare the discharge air temperature to the
A/C Performance (Temperature and Pressure) Chart.
If the discharge air temperature is high, refer to Re-
frigerant Leak Testing and Refrigerant System Diag-
nosis Chart.
(10) Compare the compressor discharge and suc-
tion pressures to the A/C Performance (Temperature
and Pressure) Chart. If the compressor discharge or
suction pressure is not normal, check the operation of
the refrigerant system. Refer to Refrigerant System
Diagnosis Chart.
If pressures are abnormal, refer to the Pressure
and Performance Diagnosis Charts.
The following chart have been developed for quick
reference.
