Fixed Window Removal

st
Method
NOTE
This method is used only in the case of a
regular fixed side window. For the fixed upper
portion of awning or sliding windows, you must
use method number 2.
o Apply a sticky plastic film onto all of
window outside surface for safety reason.
o Using a drill equipped with the special
sharp pointed rod, drill through the window
seal into one of the bottom corners, from a
30º angle with reference to the vehicle.
o This procedure requires accuracy and it is
possible not to succeed on the first at-
tempt. From the inside of vehicle, a sec-
ond person ensures the rod passes
through.
o Remove the rod; thread the wire into the
small hole. Reinsert the rod and the wire
into the hole far enough so that the person
inside the vehicle can pull the rod using a
pair of pliers.
o Attach the wire ends to the specially
designed handles.
o Pull in turn from the inside and the outside
of vehicle to gradually cut the Sika bead
on the window perimeter.
o When you reach top corner, detach wire
from the outside handle, secure it to a fish
wire or rod and thread it underneath the
aluminum molding behind the rivets.
o Detach wire from fish wire and continue
cutting using the handle.
