Anyone done one of these? I don't pull panels but I seriously considered on this one. Big PITA on front doors.

Have not done a 13' yet but on the style before these, the seals pull out and give you about 1/2 inch on each side. Gm doesn't usually change much, back window should be the same. I dont know if this is helpful but if its anything like the previous style, cake walk? :eye

I already did one...back glass and rear doors ain't bad but if your not a panel puller the front doors were a PITA...just letting some folks have a heads up.

you can grab the seal out of the front doors without taking the panel off. takes a hook tool to pull the tabs inside the panel back up on the seal when your done.

the second one of these ive done in the past week and learned from the first one. front seals pull out easily everything else is cake...

one possible problem that i dont know if it was caused by me yet, third brake light in the trunk lid stayed on after i finished the job. it turned on at sometime between pulling the car into the garage and me finishing the tint job. there is a module under the rear deck but that was completely dry when i checked it after i noticed the light. im hoping its just something stupid that was coincidence since the car came in with less than 1k miles on it. his girlfriends car (13 equinox) also less than 1k miles on it fried an amp the day before they had me tint it.

Not a bad one to do at all. I ended up pulling the front door panels and sweeps. 4 - 7mm bolts (2 are on the very bottom and 2 are hidden behind the trim piece under the window switch panel) and the rest are pop clips. No biggy. And no issues with the deck lid light on mine.
