05 Escalade

Hey peeps! Just had a question.... Escalade 05 I got a R&R to do.. How do the panels come off?

Okay, did it 2day, for those interested.....theres one bolt @ door handle and one lone screw on bottom, pop panel back, then lift off. Same as Tahoe!! Just didnt know if they were different.. Thought they might since they are 30k more!!

no reason what so ever for the panels to come off

Yeah, I wouldnt pull em either. So, so easy. Maybe some people were trained to always pull panels.

different strokes for different folks.

I pull panels all day long....only takes an extra couple of minutes and I find I get alot faster/cleaner install, plus I know how low the second gasket is to be sure to get below it. Everybody does things differently...to each his own. I used to do it without panel removal, but now I remove. Who cares as long as the job gets done and done right.

Ditto

It doesnt matter to me...I was just saying is all. I pull panels on some cars...especially the new Lexus IS with the tweeters on the panel next to the mirror. Not matter what I did, I couldnt get it w/o panel removal. Also, on some Volvo's.

Those panels have 3 10mm bolts that come off and the end cap in the upper corner and it pops right off! Takes less then 3 minutes! The gasket comes right out and you got all the room in the world! Makes it alot easier to clean old tint and glue that's low in the panel!

if the rubber gasket is lose and easy and lots of room stick it in. if she is tight as a bioutch, strip the just like a woman. some time we have to kick um in the ace.

Yeah I dont think it has anything to do with the way you were trained.... Because the methods I used today are nothing like how I was showed to do this.. You can watch someone tint all day long and still not have a clue of how to get the flim out of the box!! You have to find out what works the best for you!! Quality is the key!!! Never compomise... Word of mouth is the best advertisement... Really i feel its all about personal preference!!!

we all have maney diffret ways installing film,
why not adaped to them all,
#1 pull panels
#2 red devel
#3 carpet shealds
#4 taping felt channels with 2" clear plastic tape
#5 if all else fail's, flush the out if it. tuttle
