Removal (cont'd)

8
Using an awl, make a hole through the adhesive from inside the car. Push piano wire through the hole and wrap each end around a piece of wood.
9
With a helper on the outside, pull the wire back and forth in a sawing motion and carefully cut through the adhesive around the entire glass.
Hold the piano wire as close to the glass as possible to prevent damage to the body and dashboard.
10
Remove the side molding from the glass.

1
Scrape the old adhesive smooth with a knife, to a thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface around the entire glass flange.
Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper bonding.
Remove all traces of the rubber spacer material from the body.
Mask off surrounding surfaces before applying primer.
2
Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol.
After cleaning, keep oil, grease or water from getting on the surface.
3
Install the glass brackets as shown.
