CAUTIONS:
Always protect paintwork and glass when removing exterior components.
Always protect the interior components when removing body glass.
Measure all gaps between the glass roof panels before prior to removal to help aid installation.
Lay the glass on felt covered supports. Do not stand on edge as this can cause chips which subsequently develop into cracks.
NOTES:
The cutting blades used in this procedure are from the standard BTB glass removal kit.
Some variation in the illustrations may occur, but the essential information is always correct.

6. WARNING: Wear safety goggles and protective gloves.
CAUTIONS:
The glass roof panel adhesive is uneven as there are 6 raised Torx bolts that may catch the BTB blade (measure and mark the area before cutting. Use the rear front stud as a fixing point to take measurements from, as indicated) on cutting the adhesive.
Make sure that a velcro stick on pad (WK11VEL from the BTB kit) is installed to the bottom of the blade, to prevent damage to the paintwork.
Protect the surrounding paintwork and body from the movement of the cutting blades, using WK11PP.

5. WARNING: This step requires the aid of another technician.
CAUTIONS:
Make sure that the component is correctly located on the locating dowels.
Make sure that equal pressure is applied to the full length of the component.
To make sure the glass roof panel adhesive is not touched or smeared during installation, more technicians may be required to assist with this step.
Make sure that the glass roof panel blind mounting brackets are not damaged during installation.

- If the ambient temperature falls below 10 degrees C, apply warm air (25 degrees C) continuously for 15 minutes.
6. CAUTIONS:
Make sure that no excess sealant residue is evident.
Make sure that the sealant is allowed to dry in accordance with the instructions included with the PU adhesive kit.
If using heat to dry the water from the vehicle after water testing the glass roof panel, do not use excessive heat.
- If water is used as a means for the leak check, then allow sealant to dry before testing.
- NOTE: Use a suitable sealant remover if any excessive sealant is applied to the glass roof panel seal and surrounding areas.
Spray water around the glass roof panel, mark any area that leaks. Dry the glass roof panel and sealant before applying additional sealant.
