DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

STATIONARY GLASS

DESCRIPTION

Windshields are made of two pieces of glass with a

plastic inner layer. Windshields and selected station-
ary glass are structural members of the vehicle. The
windshield glass is bonded to the windshield frame
with urethane adhesive.

OPERATION

Windshields and other stationary glass protect the

occupants from the effects of the elements. Wind-
shields are also used to retain some airbags in posi-
tion during deployment. Urethane bonded glass is
difficult to salvage during removal. The urethane
bonding is difficult to cut or clean from any surface.
Before removing the glass, check the availability of
replacement components.

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 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.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to
cure before returning the vehicle to use.

CAUTION: Roll down the left and right front door
glass and open the rear glass slider (if available)
before installing windshield to avoid pressurizing
the passenger compartment if a door is slammed
before urethane is cured. Water leaks can result.

The windshield fence should be cleaned of most of its

old urethane bonding material. A small amount of old
urethane, approximately 1-2 mm in height, should
remain on the fence. Do not grind off or completely
remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint finish
and bonding strength will be adversely affected. Support
spacers located on the cowl at the bottom of the wind-
shield opening (Fig. 2) should be replaced with new
parts. Replace any missing or damaged spacers around
the perimeter of the windshield opening.

(1) Place replacement windshield into windshield

opening and position glass in the center of the open-
ing against the support spacers. 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. Remove replacement windshield from
windshield opening (Fig. 3).

(2) 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. 4).

(3) Clean inside of windshield with MOPAR Glass

Cleaner and lint-free cloth.

(4) Apply clear glass primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide

around perimeter of windshield and wipe with a new
clean and dry lint- free cloth.

(5) Apply the header molding to the windshield.
(6) Apply pinchweld primer 15 mm (.75 in.) wide

around the windshield fence. Allow at least three
minutes drying time.

(7) Apply a 13mm (1/2 in.) high and 10mm (3/8 in.)

wide bead of urethane around the perimeter of wind-
shield. At the bottom, apply the bead 7 mm (1/4 in.)
inboard from the glass edge. On the three sides
where the molding is on the glass, follow the edge of
molding. The urethane bead should be shaped in a
triangular cross-section, this can be achieved by
notching the tip of the applicator (Fig. 5).

(8) With the aid of a helper, position the windshield

over the windshield opening. Align the reference marks
at the bottom of the windshield to the support spacers.

(9) Slowly lower windshield glass to the fence

opening guiding the lower corners into proper posi-
tion. Beginning at the bottom and continuing to the
top, push glass onto fence along the A-Pillars. Push
windshield inward to the fence at the bottom corners.

(10) Clean excess urethane from exterior with

MOPAR Super Clean or equivalent.

(11) 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.

(12) Install new screws attaching the side wind-

shield moldings to the A-pillars.

(13) Install the weatherstrip onto side windshield

moldings.

(14) Install cowl grille and wipers.
(15) Install rear view mirror.
(16) After urethane has cured, remove tape strips

and water test windshield to verify repair.
