Removal Procedure

Caution: If a window is cracked but still intact, crisscross the window with masking tape in order to reduce the risk of damage or personal injury.

Important: Before cutting out a stationary window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces and the interior trim.

1. Remove the rear quarter trim panel.
2. Remove the quarter window applique.

Caution: If broken glass falls into the defroster outlets, it can be blown into the passenger compartment and cause personal injury.

3. Cover to protect the following parts from broken glass:

* The upper dash pad
* The defroster outlets and A/C outlets
* The seats and carpeting






Caution: When working with any type of glass or sheet metal with exposed or rough edges, wear approved safety glasses and gloves in order to reduce the chance of personal injury.

Important: Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window. Do this from inside the vehicle to protect the outer painted surfaces.

4. This will allow the urethane adhesive to be separated from the window.

* Leave a base of urethane on the pinchweld flange.
* The only suitable lubrication is clear water.
* Use J 24402-A, J 39032 or equivalent in order to remove the window.
* Remove the window from the vehicle with the aid of an assistant.
