SPECIAL ADHESIVE BEAD CUTTING PROCEDURE WITH THE

PNEUMATIC TOOL

REMINDER: when removing moulded glass, such as this quarter panel

window (E), you must use a special WK24ZR blade (J) which does not
stress the glass moulding (D).

The serrated edge of the blade points towards the underbody flange while the
other side is slightly rounded so as to limit any stress to the moulding.

The right-hand guide (K) to be fitted on the tool should rest against the glass
so that the blade can be as close as possible to the underbody flange during
the bead cutting procedure.

NOTE: it is important to cover both sides at the end of the guide (K) with
three velcro discs (supplied with the set) so that the blade can be placed in
the optimum position.
