GLASS AND MIRRORS

Caution : Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit or when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical erminals. Disconnecting this cable will help prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.

DIAGNOSIS

Testing Rear Window Defogger Grid Line

If it has been observed during use that a grid line is inoperative, the following procedure can be used to find the break. If none of the grid lines is operating, a full system diagnosis should be completed before attempting to repair the grid lines.
  1. Turn the ignition ON.
  2. Turn the ignition ON.
  3. Turn on the rear window defogger.
  4. Turn on the rear window defogger.

Notice : Use care when touching the voltmeter terminals to a grid line. If the terminals are roughly applied, the grid line may be scratched, resulting in an open circuit.

  1. From the inside of the vehicle, connect a voltmeter to each end of a grid line. The voltmeter will indicate battery voltage if the grid line is open.
  2. If a grid line is found to be open, move a voltmeter terminal from one side of the grid line and retest at a point nearer to the other side of the window. Continue to retest, each time bringing one of the voltmeter terminals closer to the opposite side of the window from where it was originally connected. The break in the grid line is at the point where the voltmeter begins reading 0 volts instead of battery voltage.
  3. Use a marking crayon to lightly mark the break point on the rear window. Mark the glass instead of marking directly on the grid line, and make the mark far enough from the grid line so that the mark can easily be removed without disturbing the repair.
  4. Use a grid line repair kit to fix the break in the grid line. Refer to "Rear Window Defogger Grid Line Repair" in this section.

Inside Rearview Mirror Support

    The inside rearview mirror is attached to a support which is secured to the windshield glass. The support is installed by the glass supplier using a plastic-polyvinyl butyl adhesive.
    Service replacement windshield glass has the mirror support bonded to the glass assembly. In order to install a detached mirror support or install a new part, the following items will be needed:

Installation Procedure

  1. Measure the distance from the headliner to the bottom of where the mirror support will be mounted on the windshield.

  3. Mark this position on the outside of the glass with a wax pencil or crayon. Draw a large diameter circle on the outside of the glass around the mirror support location.
  4. Clean the inside surface of the glass with paper towels and a domestic scouring cleanser, a glass cleaning solution, or a polishing compound. Rub the glass until the area is completely dry. When the area is dry, clean the area with an alcohol-saturated paper towel in order to remove any traces of scouring powder or glass cleaning solution.
  5. If the mirror support is new, clean the bonding surface with fine grit sandpaper #320 or #360. If the original mirror support is being used, all traces of factoryinstalled adhesive must be removed prior to reinstallation.
  6. Wipe the sanded mirror support with a clean paper towel saturated with rubbing alcohol. Allow the support to dry.
  7. Follow the adhesive kit manufacturer's directions for adhesive application and mirror support preparation before installing the mirror support to the glass.
  8. Position the mirror support to its premarked position. Use steady pressure and press the support against the glass for 30 to 60 seconds.
  9. After 5 minutes, remove the excess adhesive with an alcohol-moistened towel or a glass cleaning solution.
  10. Install the inside rearview mirror to the mirror support with the mounting screw.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEM OPERATION

Stationary Glass

Stationary glass consists of all the glass on the vehicle which is immovable within its frame, such as the windshield glass, the back glass, and the inside rearview mirror.

Inside Rearview Mirror

The inside rearview mirror can be manually adjusted up/ down, fore/aft, and left/right. The rearview mirror pivots in two places: the ball-and-socket mirror pivot and the up/down hinge lever at the mirror support.

Outside Rearview Mirrors

Two types of outside rearview mirrors are available. The driver side is equipped with a remote control mirror. On the passenger side, a remote control mirror is standard, and an electric remote control mirror is optional. The electric control outside rearview mirror can be adjusted by an electric control switch on the instrument panel.
