TOOLS REQUIRED

REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Remove the upper quarter trim panel.

2. 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.
- If broken glass falls into the defroster outlets, it can be blown into the passenger compartment and cause personal injury.

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

Cover to protect the following parts from broken glass:
1. Upper dash pad
2. Defroster outlets and A/C outlets
3. Seats and carpeting





3. CAUTION: Refer to Glass and Sheet Metal Handling Caution.

IMPORTANT: Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window.

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.
