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.

Remove the rear upper garnish molding. Refer to Garnish Molding Replacement - Rear Upper in Interior Trim.
Lower the rear seat back.
Remove the nuts from the quarter window.
Use J 24402-A , J 39032 or equivalent in order to remove the window.

CAUTION: Refer to GLASS & SHEET METAL HANDLING CAUTION in Cautions and Notices.

IMPORTANT: Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window.

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.
Remove the quarter window from the pinch-weld flange.
