Not Reusing Windshield

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.

NOTE: If it is difficult to cut sealant, use piano wire and follow the procedure under "Reusing Windshield".

WARNING: Using piano wire with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using piano wire.

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