Body Code plate. The plate is located on the in the
engine compartment and attached to the top of the
right frame rail. Refer to the Introduction section at
the front of this manual for body code plate descrip-
tion. The paint code is also identified on the Vehicle
Safety Certification Label which is located on the
drivers door shut face. The first digit of the paint
code listed on the vehicle indicates the sequence of
application, i.e.: P = primary coat, Q = secondary
coat. The codes listed in the Aftermarket Paint
Repair Products chart are used for manufacturing
purposes. The first digit may vary from the Body
Code Plate. The color names provided in the After-
market Paint Repair Products chart are the color
names used on most repair product containers.

BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT FINISH

DESCRIPTION

On most vehicles a two-part paint application (base

coat/clear coat) is used. Color paint that is applied to
primer is called base coat. The clear coat protects the

base coat from ultraviolet light and provides a dura-
ble high-gloss finish.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals or com-
pounds on painted surfaces. Damage to finish can
result.

Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning sol-

vents on painted surfaces. Damage to finish or
color can result.

FINESSE SANDING, BUFFING, AND
POLISHING

DESCRIPTION

Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in

clear coat or single-stage finishes can be reduced
with light finesse sanding, hand buffing, and polish-
ing. If the finish has been finesse sanded in the
past, it cannot be repeated. Finesse sanding
operation should be performed by a trained
automotive paint technician.

CAUTION: Do not remove clear coat finish, if
equipped. Base coat paint must retain clear coat for
durability.

PAINTED SURFACE TOUCH-UP

DESCRIPTION

When a painted metal surface has been scratched

or chipped, it should be touched-up as soon as possi-
ble to avoid corrosion. For best results, use Mopar

Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch-Up Paints and Clear Top
Coat. Refer to Introduction group of this manual for
Body Code Plate information.

WARNING: USE A OSHA APPROVED BREATHING
FILTER WHEN SPRAYING PAINT OR SOLVENTS IN
A

CONFINED

AREA.

PERSONAL

INJURY

CAN

RESULT.

TOUCH-UP PROCEDURE

(1) Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside

scratch or chip.

(2) Clean affected area with Mopar

t Tar/Road Oil

Remover, and allow to dry.

(3) Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat

of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good sur-
face finish. The applicator brush should be wet

enough to puddle-fill the defect without running. Do
not stroke brush applicator on body surface. Allow
the filler/primer to dry hard.

(4) Cover the filler/primer with color touch-up

paint. Do not overlap touch-up color onto the original
color coat around the scratch or chip. Butt the new
color to the original color, if possible. Do not stroke
applicator brush on body surface. Allow touch-up
paint to dry hard.

(5) On vehicles without clear coat, the touch-up

color can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and
polished with rubbing compound.

(6) On vehicles with clear coat, apply clear top coat

to touch-up paint with the same technique as
described in Step 4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard.
If desired, Step 5 can be performed on clear top coat.

WARNING: AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT
WITH PETROLEUM OR ALCOHOL – BASED CLEAN-
ING SOLVENTS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

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.

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) Open convertible top.
(2) Remove

header/A-pilllar

weatherstrip

from

weatherstrip retainers.

(3) Remove A-pillar

weatherstrip

retainer

and

molding.

(4) Remove header weatherstrip/molding.
(5) Mark top edge of the windshield glass at three

locations on the header.

(6) Remove windshield wiper arms.
(7) Remove cowl cover.
(8) Place protective covers over instrument panel

and hood.

(9) Using a sharp cold knife, cut urethane adhe-

sive holding the windshield to the A-pillars, header
and cowl pinch weld fences (Fig. 1). A power cutting
device can be used if available.
