2. Wear safety glasses. Use a metal saw to slowly cut a groove between A and B shown in the illustration to release the gas.
  NOTE: Although the gas inside the back door stay assembly is colorless, odorless, and harmless, metal debris may scatter. Therefore, cover the back door stay assembly with a piece of cloth or other material.
