Base Removal

  1. Remove the rearview mirror. (See REARVIEW MIRROR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  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.
  3. Fix one end of the SST  (piano wire), and while pulling the other end, cut the sealant to remove the base.
