Wind each end of the piano wire around a bar.
NOTE:
- Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the piano wire to prevent it from breaking due to localized heating.
Secure one end of the piano wire, and while pulling the other end, cut the sealant around the quarter window glass.
