JTAPE Braided Windscreen Removal Wire (2211.0422)

Description

Genuine JTAPE · Part no. 2211.0422

JTAPE 2211.0422 is a braided cutting wire for removing a bonded windscreen, made from three brass plated steel wires twisted together into a 0.7mm cord. It is fed through the adhesive bead around the glass and drawn along it to cut the screen free, and suits a wide range of makes and models.

Good to know

• What else will I need? Handles or a wind-out tool to pull the wire, a tool to push it through the bead, gloves and ideally a helper; the wire on its own is not the whole kit.
• How do I protect the dash and paint? Tape over the paint at the edge of the screen and cover the dash, keeping the wire tight against the glass so it saws through the adhesive rather than the trim or bodywork.
• Is it a job to do myself? Wear gloves and eye protection, as glass edges and a snapped wire can cut; on modern cars the screen is part of the body structure, so the new one needs the right adhesive and cure time before driving.

Which one?

Once the old screen is out, the Martin Cox Quick Cloth Microfibre 50 Pack Dispencer Box 30x30cm (MOGG194) is handy for wiping dust and loose debris out of the frame.
