SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
A sticky clear to light brown material (hot melt glue) seeps out of the edge of the backlight and/or windshield molding and collects at the bottom corners
of the moldings. The material could also be seeping into the trunk drain trough. The hot melt glue is used as an aid during vehicle assembly and has no
effect on the structural or sealing integrity of the vehicle. After a period of time the hot melt glue reacts with the backlight and/or windshield moldings
and causes the hot melt glue to melt at a lower temperature thus running down the sides of the glass to the bottom of the molding.
DIAGNOSIS:
Visually inspect the lower corners of the backlight and windshield moldings. If the hot melt glue is visible, perform the repair procedure.
PARTS REQUIRED:
AR
4318067
Solvent, Mopar Concentrated Windshield Washer
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
This bulletin involves removal of the hot melt glue from the backlight and/or windshield glass and molding.
1.
Clean up of the glue is accomplished with Mopar Concentrated Windshield Washer Solvent, P/N 4318067. The washer solvent is an alcohol based
material and dissolves the glue for easy clean up with a cloth.
2.
Use a trim stick or tongue depressor covered with a cloth saturated with windshield washer concentrate to get under the molding and run along the
edge of the glass to remove as much of the hot melt glue as possible. If most of the glue is not removed, the condition will reoccur.
POLICY: Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty.
