    The profiling at the front of the roof frame can make it difficult to cut through the glue beads (2, 3), because the cutting wire runs directly on the sheet metal flange.

    The assembly wedge lifts front panoramic sliding roof frame (1) and cutting wire can be guided below right reinforcement (1.2).
