9L – 2  GLASS AND MIRRORS

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

STATIONARY GLASS

Stationary glass consists of all the glass on the vehicle
which is immovable within its frame, such as the wind-
shield 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

Three types of outside rearview mirrors are available.
The outside rearview mirrors are adjusted by hand
which is standard. The remote control and the electric
outside rearview mirrors are optional. The outside rear-
view mirrors are installed on the front doors.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES

TESTING REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID LINE

D109E301

If it has been observed during use that a grid line is inop-
erative, 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 re-
pair the grid lines.

1. Turn the ignition ON.

2. 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.

3. From the inside of the vehicle, connect a voltmeter to

each end of a grid line. The voltmeter will indicate bat-
tery voltage if the grid line is open.

4. If a grid line is found to be open, move a voltmeter ter-

minal 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 ter-
minals 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.

5. Use a marking crayon to lightly mark the break point

on the rear window. Mark the glass instead of mark-
ing 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.

6. Use a grid line repair kit to fix the break in the grid line.
