-

9. NOTE: Refer to manufacturer's instructions before using the tool.
Lubricate the urethane adhesive with water to aid the Interior Auto Glass Cut-Out Knife Kit when cutting the urethane adhesive.
10. WARNING:
-
Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
-
Wear protective gloves when handling components or parts that have pointed or sharp edges. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: To avoid rust formation, use extreme care not to scratch the paint or primer, or otherwise damage the pinch weld during
glass removal.
NOTE:
-
Insert the blade into the special tool so that the flat side is against the glass. This will leave the entire urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld
and allow a dry fit of the replacement windshield glass.
-
Support the windshield glass as necessary to prevent the glass from dropping while cutting the urethane adhesive.
Insert the special tool at the upper center of the windshield glass and work toward the bottom corners.
