WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Porsche Cayenne, 2009 Porsche Cayenne, and 2008 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Information

The force required for separating the glass is lower when the cutting thread is deflected to its maximum point. An angle greater than 90° should be avoided.
