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.

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.
