Not Reusing Windshield

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the base.
NOTE:
- For the areas of the sealant that are difficult to cut, use the SST (piano wire) and follow the procedure under "Reusing Windshield."
Use the tool like that shown in the figure, and insert the blade into the sealant.
Pull through the sealant around the edge of the glass.
Remove the windshield.
