Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Plate Relocated

Visit Geno's Garage for Truck accessories.

Models: 2000 BR/BE Ram

2000 (AN)      Dakota
2000 (BR/BE) Ram Truck
2000 (DN)      Durango

Discussion:
The VIN plate on the subject model vehicles has been relocated from the instrument panel to the cowl bar. Due to the relocation of the VIN plate, the windshield frit (the frit is the black-out band at the bottom of the windshield) required a change so that the VIN plate could be seen through the windshield. The view of the VIN plate may be blocked if a 1999 or earlier windshield is installed on the vehicle.

NOTE:    DO NOT INSTALL OR HAVE GLASS SUPPLIERS INSTALL 1999 OR EARLIER WINDSHIELDS ON 2000 MODEL YEAR SUBJECT MODEL VEHICLES. LIKEWISE, DO NOT INSTALL OR HAVE GLASS SUPPLIERS INSTALL 2000 OR LATER WINDSHIELDS ON EARLIER MODELS

If the VIN plate is not visible because the windshield frit blocks the view, the windshield must be replaced with the appropriate MOPAR Safe Guard glass.
