Reusing Windshield

Make a hole through the sealant from the inside of the vehicle using an awl.
WARNING:
- Using a SST (piano wire) with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a SST (piano wire).
Pass the SST (piano wire) through the hole.
Wind each end of the SST (piano wire) around a bar.
NOTE:
- Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the SST (piano wire) to prevent it from breaking.
