Removal Procedure

    CAUTION: Refer to Cracked Window Caution in Cautions and Notices.
    IMPORTANT: Before cutting out a stationary window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces and the interior trim.
  1. Remove the rear door trim panels in order to gain access the rear window. Refer to Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Door - Left and Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Door - Right in Body Rear End.
    2. CAUTION: Refer to Defroster Outlet Caution in Cautions and Notices.
  2. Cover to protect the following parts from broken glass:
    • The upper dash pad.
    • The defroster outlets and A/C outlets
    • The seats and carpeting.
    3. IMPORTANT: Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window. 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 J 24402-A  , J 39032  or equivalent in order to remove the window. See Special Tools and Equipment .
