WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the curtain air bag module. (See CURTAIN AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SEDAN]  .)
  2. Secure the curtain air bag module in a vise, and cut off the deployment section, as shown in the figure.
