If you wish to replace the windshield in your 2006 Toyota Corolla you will first have to remove the front window trim from around the window frame. The process is fairly simple and can be completed in a matter of minutes. You can pick up all the tools and components which you will need for the job from your local auto store.
Instructions

Turn the engine off and engage the parking brake. This will prevent the vehicle from moving at all while you carry out the work.
2Use a screwdriver to remove the rear-view wing mirror. Remove the mounting screws which attach the mirrors to their casing and slide them away from the frame.
3Unclip the windshield wipers from their metal frames. Press in the small tab on the back on the windshield wiper and slide it away from the frame. Removing both the windshield wipers and rear-view mirrors will give you better access to the front window trim.
4Locate the rubber window trim around the edges of the windshield. Use a sharp blade to carefully cut the trim away. Ensure you do not scratch your windshield. As you cut away the rubber trim carefully pull it away from the windshield with your hand.
5Place sealant around the windshield if you wish to insert a new windshield. To reattach the windshield wipers and rear-view wing mirrors follow the removal steps in reverse.
