Base Removal

  1. Remove the rearview mirror.
  2. Wind each end of a wire around a bar.
    WARNING:
    • Using the SST (piano wire) with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using the SST (piano wire).
    NOTE:
    • Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the SST  (piano wire) to prevent it from breaking. Do not pull too hard to prevent damage to windshield.
  3. Saw through the sealant to remove the base.
