Removal Procedure
Important: Before cutting out a window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces and inner
trim around the window.
1. Remove the window garnish molding from the door frame.
Caution: Refer to Glass and Sheet Metal Handling Caution in Service Precautions.
2. Use safety glasses and gloves.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the window defogger on the window, if equipped.
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.
4. Using the J 24402-A or J 39032 in order to remove the window. Do this from inside the vehicle to protect the outer surface of the paint.
