The bead of sealant on the side window can be cut using either harmonic wire or the vibrating knife; both methods are described below.To cut the bead using harmonic wire, proceed as described below.1. Cut a section of harmonic wire about 50 cm long then, using pliers, insert one end (1a) of the harmonic wire through the bead of sealant (1b) which secures the window (1c).2. Secure the end (1a) of the wire to the retaining tool (2a) located inside the car. Secure the end (2b) of the traction handle (2c) located outside the vehicle.3. The operator inside the car must keep the end of the tool (2a) on the bead of sealant (3a) at about 30 cm from the point of passage of the wire. The other operator outside the car must pull the handle (2c), following the outline fo the window, and cut the bead of sealant (3a). Position a blade (2d) by the tool (2a) to protect the inner trims. Repeat the operation in sections of about 30 cm, until the whole of the bead of sealant (3a) is cut. When cutting, take care over the window centering pins (3b) and the weatherstrips (3c).
To cut the bead using the vibrating knife, proceed as described below.1. Use the vibrating knife (1a), with blade (1b), and cut the bead of sealant (1c) along the whole perimeter of the window, working from outside the car. When cutting, take care over the window centering pins (1d) and the weatherstrips (1a).

Refitting ( Removing ) 1. Using a suitable tool, cut and smooth off the bead of sealant in the side window frame, so as to leave a thickness of between 0.25 and 1 mm, without scratching the paintwork. The sealant left in the frame will act as a backing for the new bond.2. Clean the side window seating carefully with compressed air and thoroughly degrease with heptane. If glueing takes place 60 minutes after cutting and smoothing the bead of sealant, treat the sealant surface with the specific activator and wait 15 minutes before fixing the windscreen.
