plugs, or blocked drain holes. Centrifugal and gravitational force can cause water to drip from a location away
from the actual leak point, making leak detection difficult. All body sealing points should be water tight in
normal wet-driving conditions. Water flowing downward from the front of the vehicle should not enter the
passenger or luggage compartment. Moving sealing surfaces will not always seal water tight under all
conditions. At times, side glass or door seals will allow water to enter the passenger compartment during high
pressure washing or hard driving rain (severe) conditions. Overcompensating on door or glass adjustments to
stop a water leak that occurs under severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and excessive closing or
latching effort. After completing a repair, water test vehicle to verify leak has stopped before returning vehicle
to use.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE WATER LEAK TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place, body drains are clear, and body components are properly aligned
and sealed. If component alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the appropriate Service Information for
proper procedures.
WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: Do not use electric shop lights or tools in water test area. Personal injury
can result.
When the conditions causing a water leak have been determined, simulate the conditions as closely as possible.
If a leak occurs with the vehicle parked in a steady light rain, flood the leak area with an open-ended
garden hose.
If a leak occurs while driving at highway speeds in a steady rain, test the leak area with a reasonable
velocity stream or fan spray of water. Direct the spray in a direction comparable to actual conditions.
If a leak occurs when the vehicle is parked on an incline, hoist the end or side of the vehicle to simulate
this condition. This method can be used when the leak occurs when the vehicle accelerates, stops or turns.
If the leak occurs on acceleration, hoist the front of the vehicle. If the leak occurs when braking, hoist the
back of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on left turns, hoist the left side of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on
right turns, hoist the right side of the vehicle. For hoisting recommendations, refer to Vehicle Quick
Reference/Hoisting - Standard Procedure .
To detect a water leak point-of-entry, do a water test and watch for water tracks or droplets forming on the
inside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove interior trim covers or panels to gain visual access to the leak area. If
the hose cannot be positioned without being held, have someone help do the water test.
Some water leaks must be tested for a considerable length of time to become apparent. When a leak appears,
find the highest point of the water track or drop. The highest point usually will show the point of entry. After
leak point has been found, repair the leak and water test to verify that the leak has stopped.
Locating the entry point of water that is leaking into a cavity between panels can be difficult. The trapped water
may splash or run from the cavity, often at a distance from the entry point. Most water leaks of this type become

When a leak point area is visually obstructed, use a suitable mirror to gain visual access. A mirror can also be
used to deflect light to a limited-access area to assist in locating a leak point.
BRIGHT LIGHT LEAK TEST METHOD
Some water leaks in the luggage compartment can be detected without water testing. Position the vehicle in a
brightly lit area. From inside the darkened luggage compartment inspect around seals and body seams. If
necessary, have a helper direct a drop light over the suspected leak areas around the luggage compartment. If
light is visible through a normally sealed location, water could enter through the opening.
PRESSURIZED LEAK TEST METHOD
When a water leak into the passenger compartment cannot be detected by water testing, pressurize the
passenger compartment and soap test exterior of the vehicle. To pressurize the passenger compartment, close all
doors and windows, start engine, and set heater control to high blower in HEAT position. If engine can not be
started, connect a charger to the battery to ensure adequate voltage to the blower. With interior pressurized,
apply dish detergent solution to suspected leak area on the exterior of the vehicle. Apply detergent solution with
spray device or soft bristle brush. If soap bubbles occur at a body seam, joint, seal or gasket, the leak entry point
could be at that location.
WIND NOISE
Wind noise is the result of most air leaks. Air leaks can be caused by poor sealing, improper body component
alignment, body seam porosity, or missing plugs in the engine compartment or door hinge pillar areas. All body
sealing points should be airtight in normal driving conditions. Moving sealing surfaces will not always seal
airtight under all conditions. At times, side glass or door seals will allow wind noise to be noticed in the
passenger compartment during high cross winds. Over compensating door or glass adjustments to stop wind
noise that occurs under severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and excessive closing or latching
effort. After a repair procedure has been performed, test vehicle to verify noise has stopped before returning
vehicle to use.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place and body components are aligned and sealed. If component
alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the appropriate Service information for proper procedures.
ROAD TESTING WIND NOISE
1. Drive the vehicle to verify the general location of the wind noise.
2. Apply 50 mm (2 in.) masking tape in 150 mm (6 in.) lengths along weatherstrips, weld seams or
moldings. After each length is applied, drive the vehicle. If noise goes away after a piece of tape is
applied, remove tape, locate, and repair defect.

1. Remove trim panel.
2. Bend or move the trim panel components at the heat staked joints. Observe the heat staked locations
and/or component seams for looseness.
3. Heat stake the components.
a. If the heat staked or component seam location is loose, hold the two components tightly together
and using a soldering gun with a flat tip, melt the material securing the components together. Do
not over heat the affected area, damage to the exterior of the trim panel may occur.
b. If the heat staked material is broken or missing, use a hot glue gun to apply new material to the area
to be repaired. The panels that are being heat staked must be held together while the applying the
glue. Once the new material is in place, it may be necessary to use a soldering gun to melt the
newly applied material. Do not over heat the affected area, damage to the exterior of the trim panel
may occur.
4. Allow the repaired area to cool and verify the repair.
5. Install trim panel.
PLASTIC BODY PANEL REPAIR
SAFETY PRECAUTION AND WARNINGS
Page 5
CAUTION: When holes must be drilled or cut in body panels, verify locations of
internal body components and electrical wiring. Damage to vehicle can
result.
Do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on undamaged painted
surfaces around repair areas. Damage to finish can result.
There are many different types of plastics used in today's automotive environment. We group plastics in three
different categories: Rigid, Semi-Rigid, and Flexible. Any of these plastics may require the use of an adhesion
promoter for repair. These types of plastic are used extensively on Chrysler Motors vehicles. Always follow
repair material manufacturer's plastic identification and repair procedures.
RIGID PLASTICS
Examples of rigid plastic use: Fascias, Hoods, Doors, and other Body Panels, which include SMC, ABS, and
Polycarbonates.
SEMI-RIGID PLASTICS
Examples of semi-rigid plastic use: Interior Panels, Under Hood Panels, and other Body Trim Panels.
FLEXIBLE PLASTICS
Examples of flexible plastic use: Fascias, Body Moldings, and upper and lower Fascia Covers.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
The repair procedure for all three categories of plastics is basically the same. The one difference is the material
used for the repair. The materials must be specific for each substrate, rigid repair material for rigid plastic
repair, semi-rigid repair material for semi-rigid plastic repair and flexible repair material for flexible plastic
repair.
ADHESION PROMOTER/SURFACE MODIFIER
Adhesion Promoters/Surface Modifiers are required for certain plastics. All three categories may have plastics
that require the use of adhesion promoter/surface modifiers. Always follow repair material manufacturer's
plastic identification and repair procedures.

PANEL SECTIONING
If it is required to section a large panel for a plastic repair, it will be necessary to reinforce the panel. To bond
two plastic panels together, a reinforcement must overlap both panels. The panels must be "V'd" at a 20 degree
angle. The area to be reinforced should be washed, then sanded. Be sure to wipe off any excess soap and water
when finished. Lightly sand or abrade the plastic with an abrasive pad or sandpaper. Blow off any dust with
compressed air or wipe with a clean dry rag.
When bonding plastic panels, Follow repair material manufacturers recommendations. Be sure that enough
adhesive has been applied to allow squeeze out and to fill the full bond line. Once the pieces have been brought
together, do not move them until the adhesive is cured. The assembly can be held together with clamps, rivets,
steve

etc. A faster cure can be obtained by heating with a heat lamp or heat gun. After the parts have been bonded and
have had time to cure, rough sand the seam and apply the final adhesive filler to the area being repaired. Smooth
the filler with a spreader, wooden tongue depressor, or squeegee. For fine texturing, a small amount of water
can be applied to the filler surface while smoothing. The cured filler can be sanded as necessary and, as a final
step, cleanup can be done with soapy water. Wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth allowing time for the panel
to dry before moving on with the repair.
PANEL REINFORCEMENT
Structural repair procedures for rigid panels with large cracks and holes will require a reinforcement backing.
Reinforcements can be made with several applications of glass cloth saturated with structural adhesive. Semirigid or flexible repair materials should be used for semi-rigid or flexible backing reinforcement. Open meshed
fiberglass dry wall tape can be used to form a reinforcement. The dry wall tape allows the resin to penetrate
through and make a good bond between the panel and the adhesive. Structurally, the more dry wall tape used,
the stronger the repair.
Another kind of repair that can be done to repair large cracks and holes is to use a scrap piece of similar plastic
and bond with structural adhesive. The reinforcement should cover the entire break and should have a generous
amount of overlap on either side of the cracked or broken area.
When repairing plastic, the damaged area is first "V'd" out, or beveled. Large bonding areas are desirable when
repairing plastic because small repairs are less likely to hold permanently. Beveling the area around a crack at a
20 degree angle will increase the bonding surface for a repair. It is recommended that sharp edges be avoided
because the joint may show through after the panel is refinished.
Panel repair for both flexible and rigid panels are basically the same. The primary difference between
flexible panel repair and rigid panel repair is in the adhesive materials used.
The technician should first decide what needs to be done when working on any type of body panel. One
should determine if it is possible to return the damage part to its original strength and appearance without
exceeding the value of the replacement part.
When plastic repairs are required, it is recommended that the part be left on the vehicle when ever
possible. That will save time, and the panel will remain stationary during the repair. Misalignment can
cause stress in the repair areas and can result in future failure.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Composite materials can mask the severity of an accident. Adhesive bond lines, interior structure of the doors,
and steel structures need to be inspected carefully to get a true damage assessment. Close inspection may
require partial removal of interior trim or inner panels.
Identify the type of repair: Puncture or Crack - Damage that has penetrated completely through the panel.
Damage is confined to one general area; a panel section is not required. However, a backer panel, open
fiberglass tape, or matted material must be bonded from behind.
PANEL SURFACE PREPARATION

Page 9
If a body panel has been punctured, cracked, or crushed, the damaged area must be removed from the panel to
achieve a successful repair. All spider web cracks leading away from a damaged area must be stopped or
removed. To stop a running crack in a panel, drill a 6 mm (0.250 in.) hole at the end of the crack farthest away
from the damage. If spider web cracks can not be stopped, the panel would require replacement. The surfaces
around the damaged area should be stripped of paint and freed from wax and oil. Scuff surfaces around repair
area with 360 grit wet/dry sandpaper, or equivalent, to assure adhesion of repair materials.
PATCHING PANELS
An panel that has extensive puncture type damage can be repaired by cutting out the damaged material. Use a
suitable reciprocating saw or cut off wheel to remove the section of the panel that is damaged. The piece cut out
can be used as a template to shape the new patch. It is not necessary to have access to the back of the panel to
install a patch. Bevel edges of cutout at 20 degrees to expose a larger bonding area on the outer side. This will
allow for an increased reinforcement areas.
PANEL PATCH FABRICATIONS
A patch can be fabricated from any rigid fiberglass panel that has comparable contour with the repair area. Lift
gates and fenders can be used to supply patch material. If existing material is not available or compatible, a
patch can be constructed with adhesive and reinforcement mesh (dry wall tape). Perform the following
operation if required:
1. Cover waxed paper or plastic with adhesive backed nylon mesh (dry wall tape) larger than the patch
required.
2. Tape waxed paper or plastic sheet with mesh to a surface that has a compatible contour to the repair area.
3. Apply a liberal coat of adhesive over the reinforcement mesh. If necessary apply a second or third coat of
adhesive and mesh after first coat has cured. The thickness of the patch should be the same as the repair
area.
4. After patch has cured, peel waxed paper or plastic from the back of the patch.
5. If desired, a thin film coat of adhesive can be applied to the back of the patch to cover mesh for added
strength.

Make a paper or cardboard pattern the size and shape of the cutout hole in the panel.
Trim 3 mm (0.125 in.) from edges of pattern so patch will have a gap between connecting surfaces.
Using the pattern as a guide, cut the patch to size.
Cut scrap pieces of patch material into 50 mm (2 in.) squares to use as patch supports to sustain the patch
in the cutout.
Drill 4 mm (0.160 in.) holes 13 mm (0.5 in.) in from edge of cutout hole.
Drill 4 mm (0.160 in.) holes 13 mm (0.5 in.) away from edge of patch across from holes drilled around
cutout.
Drill 3 mm (0.125 in.) holes in the support squares 13 mm (0.5 in.) from the edge in the center of one
side.
Scuff the backside of the body panel around the cutout hole with a scuff pad or sandpaper.

After patch panel is installed, the patch area can be finished using the same methods as finishing other types of
body panels. If mesh material is exposed in the patched area, grind surface down, and apply a coat of high
quality rigid plastic body filler. Prime, block sand, and paint as required.

LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS
Body mechanisms and linkages should be inspected, cleaned, and lubricated, as required, to maintain ease of
operation and to provide protection against rust and wear. When performing other under hood services, the hood
latch release mechanism and safety catch should be inspected, cleaned, and lubricated. During the winter
season, external door lock cylinders should be lubricated to assure proper operation when exposed to water and
ice.
Prior to the application of any lubricant, the parts concerned should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit. If
necessary, a suitable solvent can be used to clean the item to be lubricated. After lubricating a component, any
excess oil or grease should be removed.

BASECOAT/CLEARCOAT FINISH
Description
DESCRIPTION
On most vehicles a two-part paint application (basecoat/clearcoat) is used. Color paint that is applied to primer
is called basecoat. The clearcoat protects the basecoat from ultraviolet light and provides a durable high-gloss
finish.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on painted surfaces.
Damage to finish can result.
Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents on painted surfaces.
Damage to finish or color can result.
FINESSE SANDING, BUFFING, AND POLISHING
Description
DESCRIPTION
Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in clearcoat or single-stage finishes can be reduced with light
finesse sanding, hand buffing, and polishing.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 clearcoat finish, if equipped. Basecoat paint must retain
clearcoat for durability.

DESCRIPTION
Exterior vehicle body colors are 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 Color Code Chart are used for
manufacturing purposes. See Body/Paint - Specifications.
PAINT TOUCH-UP
Description
DESCRIPTION
When a painted metal surface has been scratched or chipped, it should be touched up as soon as possible to
avoid corrosion. For best results, use Mopar Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch Up Paints and Clear Top Coat. For a
description of the paint codes, see Body/Paint - Specifications.

NOTE:
See POWER SEATS, THIRD ROW - SERVICE INFORMATION for service of the
power folding seat module, motors, actuator, latches and switches.
In the event that the power folding seat does not operate electronically, the seat
can be slowly repositioned manually.
If the electric seat leg latch release actuator and cable assembly is
inoperative, or one or more leg latches fail to release, it will be necessary
to manually release the latch or latches. The following procedure should
be performed to eliminate the risk of seat component damage.
a. Access the effected leg (1). The leg latch release cables are located on the outer edge of the seat
legs. Depending on the inoperative latch, it will be necessary to access the area between the two
inboard legs of the 60/40 seats or the area between the outboard seat legs and quarter trim panel.
b. Find the leg latch release cable end (2) where it attaches to the latch stud.
c. Lift up on the cable end until the leg latch (3) releases from the floor striker.

CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before installing rear window to avoid
pressurizing the passenger 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 rear window, the urethane bonding
material on the rear window fence should be smooth and consistent to the
shape of the replacement glass.
1. Place replacement glass into rear window opening.
2. Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the replacement
rear window. If not, the urethane adhesive remaining on the fence must be formed to the shape of the new
glass.
3. Using a grease pencil, mark the glass and liftgate in several locations to aid installation.
4. Remove replacement glass from liftgate opening.
5. Position the rear window 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 parallel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart.
WARNING: Do not use solvent based glass cleaner to clean rear window before
applying glass prep and primer. Poor adhesion can result.

The windshield is attached to the window frame (fence) 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.
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.
CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before installing the rear window to avoid
pressurizing the passenger compartment if a door is slammed before the
urethane bonding is fully cured. Water leaks can result.
Remove the rear view mirror. See Body/Interior/MIRROR, Rearview - Removal.

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 if the vehicle is in an accident.
CAUTION: To help prevent water leaks, partially roll down the left and right door
glass before installing the windshield. This avoids pressurizing the
passenger compartment if a door is slammed before the urethane is cured.
1. If the windshield (1) is being reused, remove as much of the original urethane (3) as possible from the
glass surface using a razor knife (2).

WARNING: Keep fingers and other body parts out of sunroof opening at all times.
The sunroof power sliding glass panel and sunshade can be positioned anywhere along its travel, rearward of
glass panel front edge.
The sunroof is electrically operated from a switch located in the overhead console. To operate the sunroof the
ignition switch must be in the ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position. The open/close switch is a rocker style
design that opens or closes the sunroof; the vent switch is a push-button design. The 'express-open' function of
the motor is triggered by a single quick press-and-release of the 'open' button. This causes the glass panel to
retract to the open position. The wind deflector will deploy as the glass panel retracts. The operator can control
the position of the glass panel by pressing and holding the open button until the glass panel has reached the
desired position. Both the close and vent buttons also have 'express' functionality. The sunroof will also operate
after the ignition key is turned off and the doors remain closed for customer comfort and convenience while
parking.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SUNROOF
Refer to SUNROOF DIAGNOSIS TABLE for possible causes. Before beginning sunroof diagnostics verify
that all other power accessories are in proper operating condition. If not, a common electrical problem may
exist.
If the glass panel does not fully move to the desired position the sunroof module may need to be initialized. To
initialize the motor, connect power to the sunroof and press the vent-button until the glass panel has reached the
full-vent position. Once in full vent hold the vent button for 15 seconds. The mechanism will make a click. This
is the indication that the sunroof module is initialized
SUNROOF DIAGNOSIS TABLE
SYMPTOM
Sunroof motor inoperative.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Faulty control switch.
Faulty circuit ground between sunroof module, control
switch, and body harness.
Faulty power circuit between sunroof module, control
switch, and body harness.

Before beginning diagnosis for wind noise or water leaks, verify that the problem was not caused by releasing
the control switch before the sunroof was fully closed. The sunroof module has a water-management system. If

however, the sunroof glass is in a partial closed position, high pressure water may be forced beyond the water
management system boundaries and onto the headlining.
The sliding glass panel is designed to seal the opening with a snug but not perfectly water tight fit between the
roof and the seal. The fit can be checked by inserting a business card or equivalent, between the roof and the
seal. The piece of paper should have some resistance when pulled around the opening with the glass panel in the
closed position. This check can only be complete when both the glass seal and the roof are dry. The sunroof
housing will drain off a minimum amount of water. Excessive wind noise could result if the gap clearances are
exceeded. The sunroof glass panel may need to be adjusted. See Body/Sunroof/GLASS, Sunroof Adjustments.
Adequate drainage is provided by a drain trough in the sunroof housing which encircles the sliding glass panel
and leads to drain hoses. If a wet headliner or other water leak complaints are encountered, before performing
any adjustments, first ensure that the drainage system is not plugged or disconnected. Use a pint container to
pour water into the sunroof housing drain trough. If water flow is restricted, use compressed air to blow out any
material plugging the drain system. Retest system again.
To further check for a disconnected drain hose:
NOTE:
Care must be taken not to fold or kink the headliner upon removal.
1. Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to sunroof housing drain tubes. See
Body/Interior/HEADLINER - Removal.
2. Repair as necessary.
