I'm really surprised more people don't have them... I ordered them the day after I got my car... (of course I had a broken window tab, HA)
They're seriously a 30 min install (per side) and My driver's side window is smooth as butta.
(haven't done passenger side yet)

So are we getting a video?

So it should take me an hour or two....Originally Posted by taylorRichie
Everytime I see this on an install and then do it it takes much longer. I am pretty meticulous though I take my time to make sure of two things. One, that things are going right and two, enough beer is being consumed....

My install has taken the better part of a year (they're still sitting in my garage). Maybe I'll put 'em on soon tho - Wifey is pressing me hard to get the passenger window functional again. Drivers side works fine since I replaced the weather stripping with felt.

Yeah seriously... I opened up the door panel knowing nothing about what I'd find... and I actually was anticipating something else... (never saw pictures) Get yourself the tool pictured on this thread, pop out the christmas trees, pop out the control panel for the windows undo the couple screws, then there's a s crew in the corner where the tweeter IIRC.
Remove the two screws on the tabs.
Carefully lift the window out, I had to rotate it about 45º to remove straight up.
Mark where the tabs are, remove the tabs (this parts easy... some even do it on their own)
My advice, slide on the new channel, then shoot glue into the channel (industrial hot glue is what I used) and immediately press tight. I tried to put glue in first, then Slide the channel on but the glue hardened way too quickly. So install it first, make a small gap for the glue to ooze into, then press tight.
And install the window, being careful of any tint. (also had to insert at about 45º angle)
