13 Saw off an approx. 1 cm wide strip at rear edge of rear trim (8). NOTES
Saw carefully.
Otherwise the upper seal on the rear window (9) can be damaged and the rear window (9) must be replaced.
NOTES Observe cutting depth when sawing.
Otherwise the paneling on the rear roof frame can be damaged.
IMPORTANT Use oscillating saw with round sawing blade.
 
14 Guide cutting wire (18) between both adhesive beads (10, 11) from one vehicle side to the other.    
15 Cover adjacent paint surfaces in cutting area with protective covers. SPECIAL TOOL Set of shields Fig 4
16 Cut through adhesive bead (10) with cutting wire (18).    
17 Pierce adhesive bead (11) from outside to inside with pull-in device (12), as shown, at rear right corner of fixed element (1) and guide through cutting wire (18).    
18 Cut through adhesive bead (11) in rear cutting area (C) using cutting wire (18). IMPORTANT Helper required.  
19 Cut through adhesive bead (11) in side cutting areas (D) using cutting wire (18) and lift fixed element (1) using a long wedge (13) while cutting. IMPORTANT Helper required.
IMPORTANT Adhesive gap between fixed element (1) and body flange is so small that cutting wire (18) runs directly on sheet metal flange; cutting through is thus made difficult.
 
    SPECIAL TOOL Long wedge Fig 2
20 Cover seal (14) and sliding sunroof (2) with a suitable cover (15).    
21 Cut through adhesive bead (11) in front cutting area (E) using cutting wire (18). IMPORTANT Helper required.

    SPECIAL TOOL Feeler gauge Fig 1
32 Tighten screws (17) on left and right side of rear roller sunblind (3). NOTES
Do not change position of fixed element (1).
Gap dimension (A) and thus alignment between side roof panelings will otherwise change.
