5
Working with another person, saw through the sealant around the edge of the glass. Then remove the glass.
Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of wire to prevent it from breaking.
Be careful that the wire does not rub on the body or dashboard.
If the glass is not to be reused, a tool like that shown in the figure may be used. Insert the blade in the sealant, and pull on the bars.

1
Cut away the old sealant with a razor knife so that 1 to 2 mm (0.04 to 0.08 in) thickness of sealant remains around the circumference of the frame. If all the sealant has come off in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it 30 minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to create a 2 mm (0.08 in) layer.

2
Carefully clean an area 5 cm (1.97 in) wide around the circumference of the glass and the bond on the body.
3
Apply primer with a brush to the bonding area of the glass and the body, and allow it to dry for approx. 30 minutes.
Keep the area free of dirt and grease. Do not touch the surface. If primer gets on the skin, remove it immediately.
