2. Remove the front seal (A) and the molding quarter seal (B) from the front edge of the quarter glass (C). If necessary, cut the seals with a utility
knife.
3. Apply protective tape along the inside and outside edges of the body. Make a hole with an awl through the adhesive from inside the vehicle. Push a
piece of piano wire through the hole, and wrap each end around a piece of wood.
4. With a helper on the outside, pull the piano wire (A) back and forth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano wire as close to the quarter glass (B) as
possible to prevent damage to the body, and carefully cut through the adhesive (C) around the entire quarter glass.
