They must not get caught up in each other. (Otherwise no possibility of cutting the adhesive bead / wire tears.)

Overlapping of cutting wire loops approx. 10 cm.

Distance from right window edge approx. 30 cm.





Pulling cutting wire into car:
- Cut off wire end (1) at an angle and thus pierce adhesive bead (2).
- Wire end must be bent to window glass.
