- The windscreen sealant can be cut using a piano wire or vibrating knife; both methods are described below.

- To cut using a piano wire, proceed as described below.

1. Cut a length of wire of about 50 cm then, with the help of pliers, introduce one end (1a) of the wire through the bead of sealant (1b) securing the windscreen (1c).

2. Fasten one end (1a) of the wire to the special retaining tool (2a) located inside the vehicle. Fasten one end (2b) of the wire to the traction handle (2c) located outside the vehicle.

3. The mechanic inside the vehicle should keep the end of the tool (2c) on the bead of sealant (3a) about 30 cm from the point where the wire passes through. The other mechanic, outside the vehicle, should pull the handle (2c) following the surround of the rearscreen and they should cut the bead of sealant (3a). Position a spatula (3b) against tool (2a) to protect the dashboard trim. Repeat the operation in sections of about 30 cm until the bead of sealant (3a) is completely cut.

Refitting

1. Using suitable equipment, cut and level the bead of sealant in the windscreen housing leaving a thickness of between 0.25 and 1 mm, taking care not to scratch the paintwork. The thickness of the sealant remaining in the housing will act as a support for the new bonding.

2. Thoroughly clean the windscreen housing using an air jet and degrease fully using heptane. When bonding, 60 minutes after the bead of sealant has been cut and levelled, the surface of the actual sealant must be treated using the special activating product and it is necessary to wait for 15 minutes before fitting the windscreen.
