9. Generally the urethane is located at the inner edged of the pinch weld. To locate the pinch weld,
place the Glass inductor on inner side of window about 4" away, parallel to the edge or flange of
window opening.
10. As previously stated it is better to start from a corner on the same side of the vehicle where the
repair will be carried out. Start by moving the heating attachment back and forward for about 12
inches on each side of the corner at a rate of about ½ inch per second. Heating too much an area is
ineffective because it reduces the amount of heat produced in the pinch weld. Make about 4 passes
over the corner. A light trail of vapor/smoke should be visible by this time. Heavy smoke is not
good, stop the process and inspect the vehicle to determine the cause of smoke. Do not breathe the
vapors. An external air supply respirator is recommended. Hydrogen Cyanide gas is emitted from the
hot urethane, which can be poisonous.
11. Once the vapor is visible, you are at the optimal temperature for the urethane to release. Gentle
outward pressure is required to break the bond. It is possible for it to take several minutes to break
the initial bond of the urethane. Once the bond is broken, the urethane will not re-bond with the
metal. A suction cup can be used in the corner for pulling the glass as the pinch weld is heated. Once
the corner is lifted, a plastic wedge, such as the HOT INDUCTION HEATERglass wedges can be
inserted behind the glass. The wedges provide outward force while heating, allowing glass removal
to be performed by one person. Do not put too much pressure on the glass, or it will break. Front
glass is laminated and is easily cracked. Side and rear glasses are tempered and much more durable.
Start with rear or side glass first then progress to windshields as you gain experience. It's better to
practice on salvage vehicles first to get familiar with the techniques.
12. Add wedges or reposition other wedges as you move around the glass. Tempered glass can
withstand pressure without breaking. If pressure, it is better to do it away from the car to prevent
unnecessary paint damage that could occur if pressure is applied to the paint with the wedge.
Constant outward pressure is necessary to enable the window to release at the lowest possible
temperature. See illustrations and notes on the next pages for additional information.
13. Typical removal time for small quarter glass is around 10 to 15 minutes. Typical removal time
for rear glass and SUV side glass is around 10 to 20 minutes. Front Glass can be removed in as little
at 15 minutes, but some larger vehicles require up to an hour to remove front glass.
Inductor consumables:
The bolt and glass inductors are covered with a fiber glass cloth protection, in order to apply them
directly against the parts to be heated. This cloth protection is a consumable which will wear and
damage with use. These can be replaced, and RHD sells kits to allow users to perform this
replacement.
