| <<A>> QUARTER WINDOW GLASS REMOVAL
| Apply cloth tape to protect the quarter window glass.
| Use glass adhesive knife to cut away adhesive.
| CAUTION Inserting the adhesive knife too deeply into windshield adhesive may damage quarter window glass. Keep the glass adhesive knife at right angles with body flange (from inside the vehicle), and put the blade at body flange. Then cut away adhesive along the body flange.
| Make mating marks on the quarter window glass and body. Use special tool window glass holder (MB990480) to remove the quarter window glass.
| CAUTION Be careful not to remove more adhesive than is necessary. Be careful also not to damage the paintwork on the body surface with the knife. If the paintwork is damaged, repair the damaged area with repair paint or anti-rust agent. Use a knife to cut away the remaining adhesive so that the thickness is within 2 mm around the entire circumference of the body flange. Finish the flange surfaces so that they are smooth. CAUTION Allow the cleaned area to dry for at least three minutes. Do not touch any surface that has been cleaned. When reusing the quarter window glass, remove the adhesive still adhering to the quarter window glass, and clean with isopropyl alcohol. Clean the body side in the same way.
