51 31... Window glass removal with wire pull handle: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 BMW 750xi, 2011 BMW 750Lxi, 2010 BMW 750xi, and 2010 BMW 750Lxi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Follow SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  for working on vehicles with airbag systems (risk of injury).
Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves for your own safety.

Attention! 

Handle sharp-edged tools with care (risk of damage to the head airbag and the window glass).

Attention! 

Follow the vehicle-specific repair instructions!

Protect inner and outer working area (body, trim panels, cables etc.) against damage.

Depending on the area of application, a SEPARATING CORD  can also be used as an alternative to wire.

Using the separating cord prevents any damage to the body.

Do not pull the separating cord over any sharp edges (risk of tearing)!

Used tool: 

Use suction cups (51 3 010 ) to lift out the window glass.

Always keep both suction cups dry and clean to ensure their optimum adhesion on the windscreen.

Secure window glass (if necessary with adhesive tape) against falling out.
