    WARNING:

    If a window is cracked but still intact, crisscross the window with masking tape in order to reduce the risk of damage or personal injury.

  3. Carefully cut around the lace, start in the center working from side to side of the window to access the urethane adhesive bead.
  4. Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window, this will allow the urethane adhesive to be separated from the window.
    • Leave a base of urethane on the pinchweld flange.
