Removal Procedure
1. Remove the rear seat. Refer to Rear Bench Seat Replacement (See: Body and Frame/Seats/Service and Repair/Rear Bench Seat Replacement) .
Important: Before cutting out a stationary window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces
and the inner trim of the window.
2. Remove the body side trim panel, for extended cab pickup only.
3. Remove the rear child seat belt anchor brackets. Refer to Child Seat Restraint System Belt Bracket Replacement (See: Restraint Systems/Seat Belt
Systems/Child Restraint/Child Seat Tether Attachment/Service and Repair) .
Caution: If broken glass falls into the defroster outlets, it can be blown into the passenger compartment and cause personal injury.
4. Cover to protect the following parts from broken glass:
*
The upper dash pad
*
The defroster outlets and A/C outlets
*
The seats and carpeting
5. If the glass is already broken, use the J 24402-A in order to remove the window.
Important:
*
Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window from inside the vehicle. This will allow the urethane adhesive to be separated
from the window.
*
Leave a base of urethane on the pinchweld flange.
*
The only suitable lubrication is clear water.
*
Use the J 24402-A, J 39032 or equivalent in order to remove the window.
