INTRODUCTION

A paint code is provided on the body code plate located in the engine compartment. Refer to the Introduction section at the front of this manual for body code plate description.

BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT FINISH

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 ultra violet light and provides a durable high gloss finish.

WET SANDING,BUFFING AND POLISHING

Minor acid etching, orange peel or smudging in clear coat can be reduced with light wet sanding, hand buffing and polishing. If the finish has been wet sanded in the past, it can not be repeated. Wet sanding operation should be performed by a trained automotive painter.

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

PAINTED SURFACE TOUCH-UP

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

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

TOUCH-UP PROCEDURE

(1)Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside scratch or chip.

(2)Clean affected area with Mopart 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 surface 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 (600 grit) wet sanded 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

All sunroofs are equipped with drain tubes that are located in the A, B or C-pillars. The drain tubes must be kept open to prevent water from entering the passenger compartment.

LUBRICATION

(1)Lubricate cables with Lubriplate or equivalent when cables are replaced.

(2)Periodically clean dirt from guide rail covers.

DRAIN TUBES

²Inspect the drain holes, located in the trough around the sunroof opening to verify they are clear. Inspection should be performed at least once a year or when problems are suspected. If drain hose or tubes are plugged, use compressed air or blunt flexible wire to clear them. If tubes cannot be cleared, they must be repaired.

²The lower ends of the rear drain tubes are located in the rear quarter panel drop wells. To clear rear drain tubes, use compressed air or blunt flexible wire from the lower ends of the tubes.
