Removal Procedure

2006 Chevrolet Suburban C1500, 5.3 ZSECTION Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Savana Special, 2003 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2003 GMC Savana, 2003 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2003 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: If a window is cracked but still intact, crisscross the window with masking tape in order to reduce the risk of damage or personal injury.

Important:  Before cutting out a stationary window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces and the interior trim.

  1. Remove the rear door trim panels in order to gain access the rear window. Refer to TRIM PANEL REPLACEMENT - REAR DOOR - LEFT and TRIM PANEL REPLACEMENT - REAR DOOR - RIGHT .
    WARNING: If broken glass falls into the defroster outlets, it can be blown into the passenger compartment and cause personal injury.
  2. Cover to protect the following parts from broken glass:
    • The upper dash pad.
    • The defroster outlets and A/C outlets
    • The seats and carpeting.
  3. Keep the cutting edge of the tool against the window. This will allow the urethane adhesive to be separated from the window.
    • Leave a base of urethane on the pinchweld flange.
    • The only suitable lubrication is clear water.
    • Use J 24402-A  , J 39032  or equivalent in order to remove the window.
