Caution: Always wear heavy gloves and safety glasses when handling glass to minimize the risk of injury.

Notice: Care must be taken to avoid damaging paint around glass during removal.

3. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the rear window defogger bus bars. Position the electrical connectors so not to damage the wiring/connectors when using the urethane power removal tool.

Important: Before cutting out a stationary window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces and inner trim.

4. Apply two 15 cm (6 in) pieces of duct tape to the top and bottom of the glass to prevent it from falling out when the urethane adhesive is cut.

Caution: When using power tools that may create smoke when cutting urethane sealant, work should be done in a well ventilated area and/or with a NIOSH/MSHA Approved air supplied respirator to prevent possible harmful exposure.

When the urethane adhesive is heated enough to give off smoke, high levels of methylene diisocyanate (MDI) may be present. Unprotected exposure to methylene diisocyanate (MDI) may result in severe, chronic, debilitating respiratory problems.
