    Before cutting out a stationary window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces and inner trim around the window.

    IMPORTANT:

    Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the stationary window. This will allow the urethane adhesive to be separated from the stationary window. Leave a base of urethane on the pinchweld flange. The only suitable lubrication is clear water.

  6. Use the J 24402-A  or J 39032  in order to remove the stationary window. Do this from inside the vehicle to protect the outer surface of the paint.
  7. If the original reveal molding on the quarter window is damaged it must be replaced.
