WARNING: Follow safety instructions for working on cars with airbag systems (risk of injury).

IMPORTANT: Take care when handling sharp-edged tools and cutting wire (risk of damage to head airbag).

IMPORTANT:
- Always keep both suckers dry and clean to ensure their optimum adhesion on the windscreen.
- Lubricate coil if interlock rattling becomes too loud.
- Always wear protective goggles and gloves for your own safety.








Preparatory work:
- To avoid paintwork damage, tape off working area over large area at outlet of wire starter (2) with fabric adhesive tape (1)
- Cut off required length (A) from cutting wire
(A) = Window diagonal x 4
- Check whether wire can get caught on rivets or retainers; if necessary, insert guide needles in bonding joint and guide cutting wire past







Pulling cutting wire into car:
- Push wire starter (2) from inside at a suitable point through adhesive bead
- Feed wire end (1) into hole of wire starter (2) and bend back
- Pull in both wires in succession crossways

NOTE: Crossing the wires cuts through the adhesive bead completely.







Laying cutting wire around windscreen:
- Starting from pull-in point, lay wire eyelet created on the outside counterclockwise around the windscreen
- Pull excess wire into car interior

IMPORTANT:
- Make sure the cutting wire is located at all four corner points below the windscreen.
- Check that the cutting wire is not caught on retainers or body.
- Secure window on outside with adhesive tape against slipping








NOTE:
Windows (1) with fitted seals (3) or sprayed-on surrounds:
- Moisten cutting wire (4) and seals (3) on window (1) with water
- Insert cutting wire (4) in bend (without kinking) between window (1) and body cutout (2)







Protecting car interior:
- To avoid damage and if necessary dirt, protect A-pillars, roof and instrument panel by means of parabolic tool (1) or plastic washer (2)
- Move parabolic tool (1) during removal so that wire cannot get caught
- Always guide plastic washer (2) between wire and panel







Starting removal:
- Place windlass (1) on windscreen
- Feed wire end into coil of windlass (1)

NOTE: Coil can only be turned in one direction.

- Make sure the wire is always situated in the guide channel of the windlass (1)
- Fit reversible ratchet (2) on coil and tension wire
- Start by cutting lower adhesive bead
- Grip second wire end in special tool 51 3 270







Moving windlass:
- Before moving windlass, remove reversible ratchet, extension and parabolic tool
- Release sucker on windlass
- Pull and hold black locking button (1)
- Turn windlass and move with sucker
- Refit reversible ratchet, parabolic tool and if necessary extension
- When cutting the corner points, make sure the wire is situated in the guide channel of the windlass; this makes the cutting job easier







Installing second windlass:
- Secure second windlass by suction on windscreen
- Feed second wire end into coil
- Cut left side and top left corner point, as described above
- Finish removal
- Remove "Roll Out 2000"







Windlass with double coil:
For use with small windows.
- Attach windlass firmly to window so that both coils are turned away from application point of wire
- Feed either the upper wire end into the lower coil or the lower wire end into the upper coil
- Fit reversible ratchet on coil and tension wire
- Cut through approx. 10 cm of bonding joint







- Feed other wire end into free coil so that the wires cross
- Continue cutting bonding joint by alternately using the coils
- Both wires meet ahead of both coils when removal is completed
- Remove "Roll Out 2000"
