- Place a piece of masking tape (A) on the middle of the front
edge of the moonroof glass (B). Make sure that the tape is
on the glass only, and is not touching the glass roof seal
(C).
- Place a mark (D) on the masking tape that aligns with the
seam (E) of the glass roof seal.
- Push down on the top of the original glass roof seal with
your thumb until a small section separates from the
moonroof glass. Once a section has started to separate,
grip it and pull outward, working around the moonroof glass
until the glass roof seal is completely removed (note the
locations of the holes in the glass roof seal).
