3. Pierce the panorama roof seal using a special needle in the rear corner of the roof.
4. Pull a special cord through the hole in the seal and screw the T-handles to its ends.
5. Cut through the seal around the perimeter of the panoramic roof.
6. Using a suitable tool, remove the panoramic glass roof.
