NOTE: The windshield removal procedure is
common to both installation procedures with
one exception. If the short procedure is to be
used, care must be taken during windshield re-
moval to ensure that an even, uniform bead of
adhesive remains on the body for the replace-
ment glass.
Cover the area adjacent (interior and exterior)
to the body windshield opening with protective
covering to avoid paint damage and additional
cleanup.
CAUTION: Do not allow the electric knife blade
to remain stationary during the cutting opera-
tion. Excessive heat can cause permanent soft-
ening of the adhesive material.
Insert a electric hot knife under the edge of
glass and cut the adhesive material as close
to the inside surface of the glass as possible.
