STATIONARY GLASS
DESCRIPTION
Windshields and selected stationary glass are
structural members of the vehicle. The windshield
glass is bonded to the windshield frame with ure-
thane adhesive.

POOR
ADHESION CAN RESULT.
(1) Clean inside of rear window with ammonia
based glass cleaner and lint free cloth.
(2) Apply Glass Prep adhesion promoter 25 mm (1
in.) wide around perimeter of rear window encapsu-
lation (not to the glass) and wipe with clean/dry lint
free cloth until no streaks are visible.
(3) Apply Glass Primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around
perimeter of rear window encapsulation (not to the
glass). Allow at least three minutes drying time.
(4) Using a razor knife, remove as much original
urethane as possible. Do not damage paint on rear
window fence.
(5) Apply pinch weld primer 15 mm (.75 in.) wide
around the rear window fence. Allow at least three
minutes drying time.
(6) Apply a 10 mm (0.4 in.) bead of urethane to the

(7) With the aid of a helper, position the rear win-
dow over the opening.
(8) Slowly lower rear window glass to the roof
fence opening and engage over the two flanges
located on the roof fence. Guide the encapsulation
into proper position as necessary. Push rear window
inward untill flush to roof line and C-pillars (Intrep-
id).
(9) Clean excess urethane from exterior with
Mopar
t Super Kleen or equivalent.
(10) Connect rear window defogger wiring connec-
tor, and rear window mounted radio antenna connec-
tor, if so equipped.
(11) Install upper quarter trim panel (Refer to 23 -

(12) After urethane has cured, water test rear win-
dow to verify repair. Verify rear window defogger
operation, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED

WINDSHIELD
DESCRIPTION
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 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.
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.
OPERATION
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.
REMOVAL
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 (Refer to 23 -
BODY/INTERIOR/REAR VIEW MIRROR - REMOV-
AL).
(2) Remove cowl cover (Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTE-
RIOR/COWL GRILLE AND SCREEN - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove drip rail weatherstrips as necessary to
gain access to screws holding windshield side mold-
ings (Fig. 2). Pull outward on molding at the bottom
of A-pillars using pliers.
(4) Cut urethane bonding from around windshield
using a suitable sharp cold knife. A pneumatic cut-
ting device can be used if available. (Fig. 3)
(5) Remove windshield from vehicle.

INSTALLATION
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.
CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before
installing windshield to avoid pressurizing the pas-
senger 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 windshield, the
urethane bonding material on the windshield fence
should be smooth and consistent to the shape of
the replacement windshield. The support spacers
should be cleaned and properly installed on weld
studs or repair screws at bottom of windshield
opening.
(1) Replace the center lower foam block with a new
one to prevent a buzz, squeak or rattle condition.
(2) Place replacement windshield into position and
center in the opening against the support spacers.
(3) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the
replacement windshield. If not, the pinch weld fence
must be formed to the shape of the new glass.
(4) Mark the glass at the support spacers with a
grease pencil or pieces of masking tape and ink pen
to use as a reference for installation (Fig. 4).
(5)
Remove replacement windshield from wind-
shield opening.
(6) Position the windshield inside up on a suitable
work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by 10 cm
by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks, placed par-
allel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 5).

ence marks at the bottom of the windshield to the
support spacers.
(15) Slowly lower windshield glass to windshield

as necessary. Push windshield inward molding is
flush to roof line and A-pillars (Fig. 6).
(16) Clean excess urethane from exterior with
