- The rearscreen sealant can be cut using a wire or vibrating knife; both methods are described below.- To cut using a piano wire, proceed as described below. 1. Cut a length of wire of about 50 cm then, with the help of pliers, introduce one end (1a) of the wire through the bead of sealant (1b) securing the rearscreen (1c).2. Fasten one end (1a) of the wire to the special retaining tool (2a) located inside the vehicle. Fasten one end (2b) of the wire to the traction handle (2c) located outside the vehicle.3. The mechanic inside the vehicle should keep the end of the tool (2c) on the bead of sealant (3a) about 30 cm from the point where the wire passes through. The other mechanic, outside the vehicle, should pull the handle (2c) following the surround of the rearscreen and they should cut the bead of sealant (3a). Repeat the operation in sections of about 30 cm until the bead of sealant (3a) is completely cut. Take care when cutting over the rearscreen side centering pins (3b).
When using piano wire, take care with the panel reinforcements located in the right and left side of the rearscreen housing. If these sections are difficult, use the vibrating cutter with an appropriate blade.
- To cut using a vibrating knife, proceed as described below.1. Use a vibrating knife (1a) with blade (1b) and cut the sealant strip along the rearscreen perimeter, working from inside the vehicle for the upper and lower edges (1c) and from from outside the vehicle for the side edges (1d). Take care when cutting over the rearscreen side centering pins (1e).2. After cutting round the entire sealant strip, apply suction pads to the rearscreen; then, with the assistance of a second mechanic, remove the rearscreen and rest it on a support stand.
Refitting ( Removing ) 1. Using suitable equipment, cut and level the bead of sealant in the rearcreen housing leaving a thickness of between 0.25 and 1 mm, taking care not to scratch the paintwork. The thickness of the sealant remaining in the housing will act as a support for the new bonding.2. Thoroughly clean the rearscreen housing using an air jet and degrease fully using heptane. When bonding, 60 minutes after the bead of sealant has been cut and levelled, the surface of the actual sealant must be treated using the special activating product and it is necessary to wait for 15 minutes before fitting the windscreen.
