GENERAL INFORMATION
Power outside rear view mirrors are an available
option on XJ (Cherokee) models. Following are gen-
eral descriptions of the major components in the
power mirror system. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Di-
agrams for complete circuit descriptions and dia-
grams.
POWER MIRROR
The power mirrors are connected to battery feed at
all times. Each mirror head contains two electric mo-
tors, two drive mechanisms and the mirror glass.
One motor and drive controls mirror up-and-down
movement, and the other controls right-and-left
movement.
The mirror glass is the only serviced replacement
part for the power mirror assembly. If any other com-ponent of the mirror unit is faulty or damaged, the
entire assembly must be replaced.
POWER MIRROR SWITCH
Both the right and left mirror are controlled by a
multi-function switch located on the front of the cen-
ter console storage compartment, directly below the
armrest. The selector switch is moved right (right
mirror control), left (left mirror control), or center to
turn power mirrors off. Then one of four directional
control buttons is depressed to control movement of
the selected mirror up, down, right, or left. The
power mirror switch is serviced only as a complete
unit.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WINDSHIELD
Windshield glass removal is accomplished by the
use of a razor knife and an electric hot knife to cut
through the urethane adhesive. This removal method
applies in all instances.
Depending on the circumstances, either one of two
windshield glass installation methods can be used:
²The short method.
²The extended method.
The short method is used when the windshield
glass is removed intact, and the body opening and
the pinchweld flanges do not require repair.
The extended method must be used when the body
opening or a flange is damaged. The extended method
must also be used when urethane no longer adheres to
either the windshield glass or the pinchweld flanges.
REMOVAL
NOTE: When using the windshield glass short in-
stallation method, ensure that a bead of urethane
remains on the pinchweld flange.
(1) Cover the interior and exterior body surface ar-
eas with a protective covering.
(2) With doors open, remove the windshield wiper
arms, interior trim moldings and rearview mirror.
(3) Make a cut around theperimeterof the wind-
shield glass along the glass edge with a razor knife.
(4) Clean the blade of the hot knife with solvent
and a cloth. Sharpen the blade with a fine-tooth file.
CAUTION: When cutting through urethane with a
hot knife, do not allow the knife blade to remain
stationary at any location. Excessive heat will per-
manently soften urethane and cause complete re-
placement of the urethane.

Publication No. 81-370-5146
TSB 26-05-95 July, 1995

(5) Start the hot knife blade (special tool C-4386)
between the glass and the urethane. Next, cut the
adhesive as close to the glass edge as possible (Fig.
1). Allow as much adhesive to remain on the pinch-
weld flange as possible.For best cutting results,
clean the knife blade frequently with steel wool
while the blade is hot.
(6) Remove the windshield glass from the body
opening.
(7) After the hot knife blade has cooled, clean the
blade with solvent and a clean cloth.
INSTALLATIONÐSHORT METHOD
Normally, after a replacement windshield glass is
installed, the rearview mirror bracket also requires
installation.Do not install the bracket until after
the windshield glass installation is completed.
(1) Inspect the windshield opening pinchweld
flanges. Prime any bare spots with urethane primer.
Allow a minimum of 18 minutes for dry time.
(2) Inspect urethane bead for high spots. Level
bead by shaving off high spots with a razor knife.
(3) Clean the outer edge of windshield glass with
naphtha or an equivalent product.
(4) Prime outer perimeter of interior side of glass 16
mm (5/8 inch) from edge. Use a wipe-off type urethane
primer and wipe glass dry after primer application.
NOTE: The reveal molding has an adhesive applied
to the windshield contact surface to help secure the
molding to the windshield during the installation
procedure.
(5) Apply the molding to the windshield:
²With the molding at room temperature, press the
molding onto the windshield corners.
²From corner to corner, work the molding to the
center of each side. (Some stretching of the mold-
ing may be required during this procedure.)(6) Place the glass on the pinchweld flanges and
inspect for gaps in the urethane. Gaps in excess of 3
mm (1/8 inch) must be filled with urethane.
(7) Adjust windshield glass position until it is
aligned with the flanges and adhesive. Next, make
alignment marks on the glass and body.
(8) Remove the windshield glass and position it on
a flat surface.
CAUTION: Avoid spilling or dripping primer on
painted surfaces. Clean spills or drips immediately.
The primer will damage the paint if it remains on
the surface for any length of time.
(9) If the replacement windshield 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.
²Do not attach tape along the bottom of the glass
andattach it only to the inside of the glass.

Publication No. 81-370-5146
TSB 26-05-95 July, 1995

²Clean the 16-mm (5/8-in) wide surface area around
the glass with isopropyl alcohol.
²Thoroughly mix and apply glass blackout primer
to the 16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the in-
terior side of the glass (Fig. 3).
²Allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(10) Apply a small amount of adhesive to the bot-
tom support spacers and attach the support spacers
to the bottom of the windshield, 170 mm inboard
from the outer windshield edge (Fig. 4).
(11) Cut the urethane adhesive applicator nozzle
(Fig. 7).
CAUTION: Be prepared to install glass immediately
after applying the adhesive, as the adhesive will be-
gin to cure in less than 10 minutes.
(12) Apply a continuous, 6-mm (1/4-in) diameter
bead of urethane adhesive to the surface area.(13) Align the glass with the reference marks and
position the glass on the pinchweld flanges. Ensure
that the windshield glass is correctly seated on the
support spacers.
(14) Force the windshield glass inward just enough
to wet-out and set the urethane. Use care to avoid
excessive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(15) Water test the windshield with a water spray
after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at urethane. If any leaks
are detected, apply urethane as necessary.
(16) If used remove the masking tape from the in-
ner surface of the glass.
(17) Install all components and clean the vehicle.
(18) Open the vehicle windows to prevent interior
pressure while the urethane is curing.If not
vented, pressure in the interior of the vehicle
may interfere with proper glass bonding.
(19) Install the rearview mirror.

INSTALLATIONÐEXTENDED METHOD
Normally, after a windshield is installed, the rear-
view mirror bracket also requires installation.Do
not install the bracket until after the wind-
shield installation is completed.
(1) Remove all of the urethane from all pinchweld
flanges. Use an electric hot knife and a plow-type
knife blade to remove the adhesive.
(2) Inspect and repair the windshield opening and
pinchweld flanges.
(3) Prime the pinchweld flanges with a urethane
base primer. However, if the flange is color-coated
with paint, prime the flanges with a paint finish
primer.This is important because urethane ad-
hesive will not adhere to all color-coat paints.
Allow primer sufficient time to dry.
NOTE: The reveal molding has an adhesive applied
to the windshield contact surface to help secure the
molding to the windshield during the installation
procedure.
(4) Apply the reveal molding to the windshield:
²With the molding at room temperature, press the
molding onto the windshield corners.
²From corner to corner, work the molding to the
center of each side. (Some stretching of the mold-
ing may be required during this procedure).(5) Install and inspect the fit of the windshield on
the pinchweld flanges as follows:
²Position windshield until it is aligned within wind-
shield opening.
²
Measure the gap between the pinchweld flanges
and glass around perimeter of the glass and flange.
²The reveal molding should equally cover the A-Pil-
lars on both sides.
²The flanges should also extend above the glass
edge equally around the perimeter of the opening.

(6) If the pinchweld flanges require repair, remove
the windshield glass and straighten, align, or repair
the flange(s) as necessary.
(7) Position the windshield in the opening and in-
spect the windshield fit again. Mark the windshield
final position on the glass and body with a wax pen-
cil (or use masking tape). The marks (or masking
tape) will be used for installation alignment refer-
ence.
(8) If the replacement windshield does not have
blackout primer:
²Attach a 25-mm (1-in) wide masking tape band
around the interior side of glass 16 mm (5/8 in)
from edge of glass (Fig. 2).
²Do not attach tape along the bottom of the glass
and attach only to the inside of glass.
²Thoroughly mix and apply blackout primer to the
16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the interior
side of the glass (Fig. 4).
²Allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(9) Apply a small amount of adhesive to the bot-
tom support spacers and attach the support spacers
to the bottom of the windshield, 170 mm inboard
from the outer windshield edge (Fig. 6).
(10) Cut the urethane applicator nozzle (Fig. 7).
(11) Apply a continuous bead of urethane to the
surface area with blackout primer on the interior
side of glass. The bead should be 9-mm (3/8-in) wide
by 12.7-mm (1/2-in) deep for best results.CAUTION: Be prepared to install the windshield im-
mediately after applying the adhesive, as the adhe-
sive will begin to cure in less than 10 minutes.
(12) Align the windshield with the wax pencil in-
stallation alignment reference marks (or the tape
strips). Position the windshield on pinchweld flanges
and spacers.
(13) Force the windshield inward just enough to
wet-out and set the urethane. Use care to avoid ex-
cessive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(14) Water test the windshield with a water spray
after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at the urethane. If any
leaks are detected, apply urethane as necessary.
(15) If used, remove the masking tape from the in-
ner surface of glass.
(16) Install all components and clean the vehicle. If
necessary, refer to the installation procedures.
(17) Open the vehicle windows to prevent interior
pressure while the urethane adhesive is curing.If
not vented, pressure in the interior of vehicle
will interfere with glass bonding.
(18) Install the rearview mirror on the bracket.

WINDSHIELD GLASSÐYJ
The one-piece windshield glass (Fig. 5) is comprised
of two laminated sheets of glass. The glass is bonded
to the windshield frame with urethane adhesive (Fig.
5). This method of windshield glass installation com-
plies with the applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS).
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION METHODS
For windshield glass removal use a razor knife or
an electric hot knife to cut through the urethane. This
removal method applies in all instances.
Depending on the circumstances, either one of two
windshield glass installation methods can be used.
The short method is used when the windshield
glass is removed intact and the windshield frame
pinchweld flanges do not require repair.
The extended method must be used when a wind-
shield frame and/or a pinchweld flange is damaged.
The extended method must also be used when the
urethane no longer adheres to either the windshield
glass or the frame pinchweld flanges.
Remove windshield glass according to the procedure
described below. Next, determine the condition of the
adhesive bond and the windshield frame flanges, and
then select the installation method required.
When the windshield glass short installation
method is used, an even, uniform bead of ure-
thane adhesive must remain on the frame
pinchweld flanges. This adhesive bead is
needed as a base for the replacement glass.
If the extended installation method is used,
the original windshield interior trim molding
must be removed and discarded. The adhesive
cannot be removed from the original molding.
REMOVAL
(1) Cover body surface areas with protective cover-
ing to avoid paint damage and extra clean-up time.
(2) Remove the windshield wiper arms, the reveal
molding (Fig. 5) and the rearview mirror. If necessary,
