Not Reusing Windshield

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

For the areas of the sealant that are difficult to cut, use the SST (piano wire) and follow the procedure under "Reusing Windshield".

WARNING:

Using the SST (piano wire) with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using the SST (piano wire).

Cut out the sealant all around the glass using a sealant remover.
Remove the windshield.
