4. CAUTION: Make sure the cutting blades are changed where the cutting depth changes to avoid damage to the body or glass panel seals.

-
Lubricate the urethane adhesive with water to aid the special tool when cutting the urethane adhesive. Using the special tool, place the flat side
of the knife against the roof module.
-
Distance the side trim panel from the roof module as needed.
-
Position the sliding glass panel as required for necessary access.
Refer to the adhesive path illustration and begin cutting at the rear corner of the side trim panel and work forward through all urethane and rubber
net pads.

Installation
CAUTION: When installing urethane-installed parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. Adequate cure time is
specified on the drive away chart for each urethane product as the temperatures and humidity vary. Inadequate or incorrect curing can
adversely affect the retention of the trim panel.
NOTE: For additional material guidelines, refer to the manufacturer's installation information.
