WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the rearview mirror. (See REARVIEW MIRROR REMOVAL .)
- Wind each end of a wire around a bar.
WARNING:
- Using the piano wire with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using the piano wire.
NOTE:- Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the piano wire to prevent it from breaking.
- Fix one end of the piano wire, and while pulling the other end, cut the sealant to remove the base.
