Got one to do next week, i was looking at one yesterday and it looks fairly easy but does the backglass need a 40 inch roll? Thinking a 36 is gonna be really tight so i may better order a 40 :dunno Also read about the door latches are they some type of new pita latches to get to trigger? Thanks

I've done several of them and the 36 inch works! :thumb Also the door latches are easy to trip and roll the window all the way up. Piece of cake!

3rd brake come out easy? Got one to do this weekend. Looks like an easy car.

Only done a few of those, and the 3rd brake light doesn't ring any bells....so must come out easy.

Looked around alittle and most say they don't pull it, plenty of room behind it

Dont recall any problems with the brakelight.36 inch works but barely. What I remember were the bottom seals on the rolldowns were really tight,next one I do I will probably pull the panel.

Make sure you cover the interior. We had one come into the shop with the dark grey "leather" interior. We covered the seat but not the back and headrests. For some reason the soap solution caused som serious streaking in the leather (I'm not convinced it was real leather).

It almost looked like there was some sort of protectant on the seats that the soap solution stripped off. It looked like peeling skin. Anyway, our detailer looked at it and said he'd never seen it before. We had to scrub and scrub and scrub, for hours, and literally scrub off this layer of flaking skin. Nightmare.

I never did hear a satisfactory reason for this, customer said he never treated the interior. May be some sort of interior protectant from the dealer?

Lesson learned, cover interior well!

Easy car to do. I used those quick clamps and a towel to trigger the plunger on the door. Worked fine for me.

plenty of room? yeah right

those lights are practically on the glass. but there is barely enough room to push the deck down and slide your bulldozer behind it. ive done so many of those things, ive had to pull the deck only once though
