Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Savana Special, 2002 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2002 GMC Savana, and 2002 Chevrolet Chevy Express. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.

Important:  Before cutting out a stationary window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces and the interior trim.

  1. When replacing or removing the left side stationary window. Refer to TRIM PANEL REPLACEMENT - LEFT BODY SIDE and TRIM PANEL REPLACEMENT - BODY SIDE REAR .
  2. When replacing or removing the right side stationary window. Refer to TRIM PANEL REPLACEMENT - RIGHT BODY SIDE and TRIM PANEL REPLACEMENT - BODY SIDE REAR .
    CAUTION: If broken glass falls into the defroster outlets, it can be blown into the passenger compartment and cause personal injury.
  3. Cover to protect the following parts from broken glass:
    1. Upper dash pad
    2. Defroster outlets and A/C outlets
    3. Seats and carpeting
    CAUTION: When working with any type of glass or sheet metal with exposed or rough edges, wear approved safety glasses and gloves in order to reduce the chance of personal injury.
