Useful information
Removal is difficult if the vehicle’s windscreen is very cold or the adhesive bead is very old . By heating the screen with a hot air
gun (up to max . 90°C), the adhesive bead becomes soft and thus easier to separate . It is also practical to heat up the awl in such
instances .
Before cutting out, inspect the new screen where clips or spaces might be . If the screen is required for later re-installation, the
cord must be fed below any seal that may be present to prevent damage to the seal .
Removing side windows
Side windows can be removed if the windscreen removal device can be attached to the screen with the suction cup .
Due to spatial conditions the angular gear is required .
Troubleshooting
Problem
Cause
Solution
The windscreen removal cord only goes
through the adhesive bead with great
difficulty or tears off .
The adhesive is too cold or very old and
hardened as a result
Heat up the vehicle in the workshop
Heat up the screen around the adhesive
bead with the hot air gun
The screen is secured with clips
In the case of small clips, cut through
them with a “tug”
In the case of large clips, thread the cord
behind the clip again
Lots of adhesive, possible due to a
double bead
Heat up partially with the hot air gun
The cutting angle is too blunt
Set the tool up so that you get a sharp
angle .
The windscreen removal cord is stuck to
a clip bracket
Route the windscreen removal cord
properly
The windscreen removal cord is stuck to
the chassis number
Push the removal protector over the
chassis number
