472 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat
tracks, door hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate, tailgate,
decklid, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based grease, such as Mopar Spray
White Lube to assure quiet, easy operation and to protect
against rust and wear. Prior to the application of any lubricant,
the parts concerned should be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating excess oil and grease should be removed.
Particular attention should also be given to hood latching
components to ensure proper function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism and
safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year,
prefera
bly in the Fall and Spring. Apply a small amount of a
high quality lubricant, such as Mopar Lock Cylinder Lubri
-
cant directly into the lock cylinder.
Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the wind-
shield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabra
sive cleaner. This will remove accumulations of salt
or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may
cause d
eterioration of the wiper blades. Always use washer
fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the
windshie
ld. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petro-
leum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending on
ge
ographi
cal area and frequency of use. Poor performance of
blades may be present with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions are present, clean the
wiper blades or replace as necessary.
