The close cut windshield installation technique is a practice that is not recommended by AGRSS (Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard) and can compromise your safety and satisfaction. This video explains some of the problems associated with the close cut windshield installation technique. This video was produced by PPG Industries for it's "Partnering With Insurance Agents" Continuing Education Program and is broadcast with the written permission of PPG Industires Continuing Education Department.
Good video, would have been better if the technician didn't scratch the paint with the long knife used as a scrapper. Rust will develop because of this. Can't understand why the industry still utilizes a long knife in this situation verses a scrapper tool.

@geodesic9 I agree. This video was produced a long time ago and before the realization of the damage caused by "plunge cutting" and similar actions took place. Every avoidance of penetrating the factory E-coat should be taken when removing urethane adhesive from a pinchweld.
