replacing the trim

I followed the DIY's that I posted earlier. They did not prepare me for the bitch that was removing the leftover adhesive. It was fucking terrible. I used a shitload of goo gone, fingernail, and a plastic trim prybar as a scraper tool. Unbelievable.

Shit looks great, though.

Save yourself a fuckton of trouble, and have your wife hold the 1/4 window in place while replacing it. You can remove it by yourself, if you're not retarded.  My passenger side went in like a breeze, but the driver's side took me forever. I used the method of removing the screw on the pivot/latch instead of removing the entire latch. The driver's side window kept sagging and not being aligned. Not sure why there was a difference. I used tape to re-align the trim, so I put it back exactly where it went.
