Not Reusing Windshield

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 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 procedures under "Reusing Windshield".

Use a tool like that shown in the figure, and insert the blade into the sealant.
Pull through the sealant around the edge of the glass.
