Parts

• Brake pedal pad × 1 — Mopar 68001309AA or equivalent
• Clutch pedal pad × 1 — Mopar 68001309AA or equivalent

Preparation

1. Park vehicle on level ground and engage parking brake.
2. Ensure ignition is off and key is removed.
3. Adjust driver's seat fully rearward to maximize footwell access.
4. Position work light to illuminate pedal cluster if needed.

Procedure

1. 1

   Inspect pedal pad retention method
   Examine the brake pedal pad from the top and sides. Examine the brake pedal pad from the top and sides to determine its retention method. Pedal pads may be retained by molded rubber that stretches over the pedal arm frame or by metal spring clips engaging slots in the arm. Identify the actual retention design before proceeding.
2. 2

   Remove brake pedal pad
   Insert a flathead screwdriver between the pedal pad and the pedal arm at the top edge. Gently pry outward to disengage the top spring clip from its slot. Once the top is free, flex the pad away from the pedal arm and slide it upward or downward (depending on clip design) to release the remaining clips. Remove the pad completely.
3. 3

   Inspect brake pedal arm
   With the pad removed, inspect the pedal arm surface for corrosion, burrs, or damage. Clean the mounting slots with a wire brush or rag if debris is present. Verify that the spring clip slots are intact and not deformed.
4. 4

   Install new brake pedal pad
   Position the new brake pedal pad against the pedal arm, aligning the pad's metal spring clips with the slots on the pedal arm. Start with the bottom clips—press the pad firmly onto the arm until the bottom clips snap into their slots. Then press the top edge of the pad firmly until the top clips engage with an audible click. Verify the pad is fully seated and does not move when pulled.
5. 5

   Remove clutch pedal pad
   Repeat the removal process for the clutch pedal pad. Insert the flathead screwdriver at the top edge, pry to disengage the top spring clip, flex the pad away, and slide to release remaining clips. Remove the pad completely.
6. 6

   Inspect clutch pedal arm
   Inspect the clutch pedal arm surface and mounting slots for corrosion or damage. Clean as necessary. Verify clip slots are intact.
7. 7

   Install new clutch pedal pad
   Align the new clutch pedal pad's spring clips with the slots on the clutch pedal arm. Press the bottom clips into their slots first, then press the top edge until all clips engage with audible clicks. Verify the pad is fully seated and secure.

Reassembly

1. Return driver's seat to normal operating position.
2. Test pedal pad retention by pressing firmly on each pad with your hand to ensure no movement or looseness.

Verification

• Visually confirm both pedal pads are fully seated with no gaps between pad and pedal arm.
• Press each pedal pad firmly with your hand—pads should not shift, rotate, or feel loose.
• Sit in driver's seat and press each pedal with your foot to verify proper grip and no slippage.
• Check that pedal pad surfaces are aligned and provide consistent contact across the full pedal face.
