- Remove sealing strips at bottom center of
windshield.
- Free thread ends.
- Place winding device VAG1654 in position 1 , aim
for an acute cutting angle.
- Cut evenly until at level with winding device.
Ensure sufficient clearance between cutting thread
and instrument panel.
- Move winding device according to individual
positions.
Notes:
Ensure sufficient clearance for the cutting thread
in the area of the roof/molded headliner. If the
windshield cannot be removed from the opening
(adhesive has spread to the outside beyond the
thread channel) it is advisable to cut through the
remaining bonding with a piece of cutting thread
using two pull toggles in order to prevent damage
to the paintwork.
Always guide the cutting thread below the window
surround. Cut off the tube section carefully from
the window surround with a knife.
