   NOTE:

   Tape the 4.0 mm (0.157 in.) drill bit to prevent the drill bit from going too deep.

   NOTE:

   • Make sure to protect both the inside and outside of the vehicle as the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip shavings will fly about.
   • Pressing the drill too firmly will cause the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip to turn and result in the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip not being drilled through.
   • Prying the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clips with the drill may damage the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip installation holes or drill bit.
   • Be careful of the drilled windshield No. 3 outside moulding clips, as they may be hot.
