possible not to succeed on the first
attempt. From the inside of vehicle, a
second person ensures the rod passes

of vehicle to gradually cut the Sika bead on
the window perimeter.

from the outside handle, secure it to a fish
wire or rod and thread it underneath the
aluminum molding behind the rivets.

o
cutting using the handle.

o
starting point, then you can remove the
window by carefully pushing it out from the
inside of vehicle.
