    GM506224Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
    CAUTION: If a window is cracked but still intact, crisscross the window with masking tape in order to reduce the risk of damage or personal injury.
    IMPORTANT: Before cutting out a stationary window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces and inner trim of the window.
  1. Remove the rear quarter upper trim. Refer to Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Quarter Upper (Impala) or Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Quarter Upper (Monte Carlo) in Interior Trim.
  2. Remove the rear quarter lower trim. Refer to Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Quarter Lower (Impala) or Trim Panel Replacement - Rear Quarter Lower (Monte Carlo) in Interior Trim.
    3. CAUTION: Refer to GLASS AND SHEET METAL HANDLING CAUTION in Cautions and Notices.
    IMPORTANT: Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window. Do this from inside the vehicle to protect the outer painted surface.
  3. This will allow the urethane adhesive to be separated from the window.
    • Leave a base of urethane on the pinch-weld flange.
    • The only suitable lubrication is clear water.
    • Use J 39032  or equivalent in order to remove the window. See Special Tools .
    • Remove the quarter modular window from the pinch-weld flange.
