Removal Procedure

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 the interior trim.
  1. Open the liftgate.
  2. Remove the upper quarter trim. Refer to INTERIOR TRIM  in Interior Trim.
    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.
  3. This will allow the urethane adhesive to be separated from the window.
    • Leave a base of urethane on the pinchweld flange.
    • The only suitable lubrication is clear water.
    • Use J 39032  or equivalent in order to remove the window.
