7. With a helper on the outside, pull the wire back and forth in a sawing motion and carefully cut through the adhesive around the entire glass.

CAUTION: Hold the piano wire as close to the glass as possible to prevent damage to the body.

8. Cut the rubber spacers away from the body with a knife; they are cemented in place.
NOTE: Replace the rubber spacers with new ones whenever the rear window is removed.

Installation

1. Scrape the old adhesive smooth with a knife, to a thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in) on the bonding surface around the entire glass flage.

NOTE:
•   Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper bonding.
•   Remove all traces of the rubber spacer material from the body.
•   Mask off surrounding surfaces before applying primer.
2. Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol.

NOTE: After cleaning, keep. oil, grease or water from getting on the surface.

3. If the old glass is to be reinstalled, use a putty knife to scrape off all traces of old adhesive, then clean the glass surface with alcohol where new adhesive is to be applied.

NOTE: Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil and grease.

CAUTION: Avoid setting the glass on its edges; small chips may later develop into cracks.

NOTE: Clean the shadowed area.
