REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

NOTE: The moulding will be damaged during the

removal process and therefore the glass and

mouldings assembly cannot be re-used.

CAUTION: Gloves and protective eyewear

should be worn at all times.
1. Place covers on the rear parcel shelf, seats and

rear quarter panels.

2. Remove the heated rear glass wiring connectors.
3. Remove rear interior trim panels surrounding rear

windscreen. For additional information refer to

Section 501-08.

4. Prepare to remove the rear glass by applying

masking tape to the body in line with the glass

edges. This will help to protect the vehicle

paintwork should the cutting tool used in removal

slip or cut through the urethane.

CAUTION: When cutting the urethane

near the corners of the glass, cut inwards

from the corners to avoid vehicle bodywork

damage.

5. Cut the urethane around the perimeter of the

glass, on the inside of the vehicle, using a sharp

long-bladed knife.

6. Attach suction cups to the rear glass and lift it

clear of the aperture.

Installation
NOTE: For installation procedures refer to the

windshield long or short installation procedures.

1. Reconnect the heater rear glass wiring

connectors.
NOTE: Ensure that no urethane contacts silver

paint grid lines.
