Can anyone give me info on how to remove the door panel gaskets on this thing? I tried removing the panel, but the rubber is molded to some aluminum rail, and if you try to remove that, the entire window/motor assembly wants to come out.

The 'door latch trick' doesn't work on this car either. I wouldn't mind, just tint it with the window down an inch, if I could get this stupid gasket out!

Yep, dont even attempt to take the trims off you are wasting your time. Tint it with doors in place, trick the lock mechanism with a screwdriver so the window thinks the doors closed, dont forget to pull the door handle to release before you close the door again.

after u clean the window, spray the bottom of the window. when u install, lay the bottom first and push on the glass and then slide the film behind the rubber.. works every time

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
