DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
DESCRIPTION
Throughout this group, references to the Daimler-
Chrysler Corporation vehicle family identification
code are used when describing a procedure that is
unique to that vehicle. Refer to Introduction Group of
this manual for detailed information on vehicle iden-
tification. If a procedure is common to all vehicles
covered in this manual, no reference will be made to
a vehicle family code.
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
DESCRIPTION
DaimlerChrysler Corporation uses many different
types of push-in fasteners to secure the interior and
exterior trim to the body. Most of these fasteners can
be reused to assemble the trim during various repair
procedures. At times, a push-in fastener cannot be
removed without damaging the fastener or the com-
ponent it is holding. If it is not possible to remove a
fastener without damaging a component or body, cut
or break the fastener and use a new one when
installing the component. Never pry or pound on a
plastic or pressed-board trim component. Using a
suitable fork-type prying device, pry the fastener
from the retaining hole behind the component being
removed. When installing, verify fastener alignment
with the retaining hole by hand. Push directly on or
over the fastener until it seats. Apply a low-force pull
to the panel to verify that it is secure.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges holding the component in
place.
