SUBJECT: SPECIAL TOOL FOR WINDSHIELD REMOVAL ISSUE: 01/87-919
APPLICATION: 900 CONVERTIBLES
Various methods are currently available for removing the glued windshield of the 900 Convertible. Saab has thoroughly tested three of these for the purpose of recommending the best method for your dealerships.
Of these three methods (piano wire, hot knife and oscillating knife) Saab has settled on the oscillating knife method as being the safest and fastest. The oscillating knife reduces the time it takes to remove glass and provides the least risk of dripping melted rubber on the upholstery or damage to the paintwork.
Given here is technical and ordering information for the Fein AStlxe 636-5 Special Cutter which Saab has tested and is probably best suited for the special Saab applications. The Fein Special Cutter can also be used for many other "hard to remove" windshields both domestic and imported. Please contact Fein Power Tools directly for pricing information and when placing an order. Saab is not stocking this cutter.
Blades are not included with the basic cutting kit. Please make note of blades that you will need when placing an order (see pg. 2).
