my advice, if you have the black trim over your quarter windows now, take it to a bodyshop and let them deal with it, it is ALOT of work and getting that adhesive off is VERY VERY difficult

other than that all the rest went smoothly

yah those covers put alittle adhesive along the lip of the bodypanel and UGH its NOT FUN , i used everything from oops, to rubbing alcohol.. and everyone that came over
needless to say.. they all took turns..

i was told a window shop would use a hotknife type thing to bore the stuff off

goodluck an post pics when done

I was looking at you picks and man you have a very small gap with the quarter panel installed, something wierd about mine,I have about a 1/4 inch all the way around....Rob

you should notice there is only one way to put them in. alittle notch in the back you slide it into an it kinda sinks down ...

i have recently removed the interior panels and seald them from the inside as well just as a precaution.. i rarely wash the car but dont want no leaks

Saleen put the adhesive on very thick it filled in the gap all the way around the windows now the adhesive is on the body and is about an 1\8 to 1\4 inch thick , really sucks i tried to pull it off and no chemical will work due to it being so thick.....Rob

mine was heavy as well.. and it takes alot of razor knifes and heat gun and work your way around , i did scrape alittle, and just used touchup paint as once you set the quarter windows u will never see it
