1. Release and remove the rear wind seal.

1. Apply adhesive tape to protect the edges of the bodywork along the side and top of the windscreen.

2. Completely lower the windscreen retaining pegs.

Move the roof lining aside, as necessary, to allow the removal of the windscreen.

The bead of sealant for the windscreen can be cut using either harmonic wire or the vibrating knife; both methods are described below.

1. Cut a section of harmonic wire about 50 cm long then, using pliers, insert one end (1a) of the harmonic wire through the bead of sealant (1b) which secures the window (1c).

2. Fix one end of the harmonic wire to the special retaining tool (2a), inside the vehicle, and the other end to the traction handle (2b) outside the vehicle.

1. The operator inside the vehicle should keep the end of the tool (1a) pressed against the bead of sealant (1b) about 30 cm away from the point where the wire passes, whilst the other operator, outside the vehicle, should pull the handle (1c), following the surround of the windscreen.

Repeat the operation in sections of about 30 cm, until the whole of the bead of sealant is cut.

To cut the bead using the vibrating knife, proceed as described below.

1. Use the vibrating knife (1a) with blade (1b) and cut the bead of sealant (1c).

1. After cutting the whole bead of sealant, fit the suction handles on the windscreen, then with the assistance of a second operator, remove the windscreen and rest it on a supporting stand.

Refitting

The windscreen cannot be refitted because whilst cutting the sealant the extruded seal is damaged irreparably.

1. Remove the retaining blocks (1a) and make all the pegs (1b) come out completely, then refit the blocks.

2. Remove the adhesive tape from the edges of the bodywork, along the side and top of the windscreen frame.

3. Test fit the windscreen and centre it perfectly.

4. With the windscreen centred, mark the relative positions of the windscreen and its seating, using strips of adhesive tape.

5. Cut the adhesive tape strips and remove the windscreen.

Use an air gun to extrude a bead of sealant arond the edge of the windscreen as evenly as possible.

1. With the assistance of a second operator, fit the windscreen in its seating immediately after applying the sealant, and bed it in place.

2. Fit the belt (2a) as shown in the figure and tension it so as to apply even pressure on the whole windscreen, in order to ensure a correct match between the window (2b), sealant (2c) and windscreen frame (2d).
