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. Open the side access door.
2. Remove the side access door trim, if equipped. Refer to Rear Side Access Door Trim Panel Replacement (See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood
and Trunk/Doors/Rear Door/Rear Door Panel/Service and Repair/Panel Replacement/Rear Side Access Door Trim Panel Replacement) in Doors.
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.
This will allow the urethane adhesive to be separated from the window.
3. If the original reveal molding on the window is damaged it must be replaced, if equipped.

Leave a base of urethane on the pinchweld flange.
