Lightly press the drill bit against the No. 3 windshield outside moulding clip to drill off the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip flanges, and remove the 5 No. 3 windshield outside moulding clips.
Note
Make sure to protect both the inside and outside of the vehicle as the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip shavings will fly about.
Pressing the drill too firmly will cause the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip to turn and result in the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip not being drilled through.
Prying the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clips with the drill may damage the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip installation holes or drill bit.
Be careful of the drilled windshield No. 3 outside moulding clips, as they may be hot.
Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the windshield No. 3 outside moulding clip fragments and shavings from the drilled areas.
