Side Protector Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING:

Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.

Pry the side protector end 20-30 mm {0.8-1.1 in} using a flathead screwdriver or a razor.

NOTE:

The side protector is installed with double-sided adhesive tape. If the side protector is difficult to remove, soften the double-sided adhesive tape using a hot air blower.
