1. Cover interior and exterior areas with protective covering to avoid damage and reduce cleanup.
2. Remove both windshield wiper arms, all interior and exterior moldings.

FIGURE 2:
4. Thoroughly clean the bonding surfaces (Figure 2). If necessary, trim excess sealant from around the rubber spacers. This will allow for a good fix when the new sealant is applied.
