Tape the body side of the circumference of windshield glass for protection. Apply the sufficient amount of soapy water to the adhesive layer. Insert the windshield knife into the adhesive layer. While holding the knife edge and windshield glass edge at a right angle, move the windshield knife in parallel to the windshield glass edge along face and edge of windshield glass to cut the adhesive layer. CAUTION: Do not twist windshield knife. Cutting of adhesive layer shall be started with wider gap between windshield glass and body. NOTE: Because the matching pins are bonded to the corners of glass, use piano wire to cut the pin.
2. USING PIANO WIRE Remove the cowl panel, see «REMOVAL»(ref-175321-S24808206522005042000000) , Cowl Panel. Remove the roof molding and upper front molding. Tape the body side of the circumference of windshield glass for protection. Make a hole in the adhesive layer using drill or knife. Pass the piano wire through the hole, and attach securely both the wire ends to pieces of wood. Pull the wire ends alternately to cut off the adhesive layer. CAUTION: Do not tightly pull the piano wire against the windshield glass edge. Be careful not to damage interior and exterior parts. When removal is made with area close to instrument panel, place a protection plate over it. Pay particular attention to the removal. Do not cross piano wires. Otherwise they may be cut.
