SIDE WINDOW GLASS REMOVALA6E7738625802011. Apply protective tape along the edge of the body to protect it from damage.
2. Make a hole through the sealant, avoiding pins,
from the inside of the vehicle using an awl.
3. Pass the SST (piano wire) through the hole.
Warning
•Using a SST (piano wire) with bare hands
can cause injury. Always wear gloves
when using a SST (piano wire).
4. Wind each end of the SST (piano wire) around a
bar.
Note
•Use a long sawing action to spread the work
over the whole length of the SST (piano
wire) to prevent it from breaking.
5. Working with another person, saw through the
sealant around the edge of the glass.
6. Remove the side window glass.
End Of Sie
SIDE WINDOW GLASS INSTALLATIONA6E773862580202
Caution
•To prevent the sealant from cracking or the glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door
is closed, open all of the windows and leave them open until the sealant has hardened.
1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1—2 mm {0.04—0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains around
the circumference of the frame.
Warning
•Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
2. If the sealant has come off completely in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it
approximately 30 minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to create a 2 mm {0.08 in} layer.
3. Clean and degrease an approximately 50.0 mm {1.97 in} wide strip around the circumference of the glass
and the bonding area on the body.
