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.

2. Remove the upper rear roof applique.






Caution: Refer to Glass and Sheet Metal Handling Caution.

Important: Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window. Do this from inside the vehicle.
