Replacing Windshield

DATE 10/98
ISSUE:
Care must be used with the VIN plate when replacing the windshield on 1988-94 MY Sedan Range vehicles. Ensure that the VIN plate is not torn off when cutting the old sealant. In addition, the correct windshield must be specified to ensure that the VIN plate is still visible at the lower left corner of 1990-94 MY Sedan Range vehicles.
ACTION:
Observe the information below when replacing windshields. Dealers should ensure that their glass replacement sublet shops are aware of this information.
^ When removing the windshield, use care not to destroy the VIN plate while cuffing through the old glass sealant.
^ The VIN plate is located halfway up the A-pillar of 1988-89 MY Sedan Range vehicles (up to VIN 594575). However, on 1990-94 MY Sedan Range vehicles (from VIN 594576), the VIN plate is viewed through an opening in the masked area at the base of the windshield. Use care to specify the correct replacement windshield. If an earlier style windshield is installed, the VIN plate will no longer be visible.
If the VIN plate is damaged, a new one can be obtained. Contact the Product Legislation and Compliance Dept. for details at 1-888-JAG-DLRS ext. 8171.
