Reply to "Window trim - any INSTALL tips ❓❓"

Just a bit off "the how" by EXPERIENCE..I will think longer though, as I did it 2 years ago

1) key is to have the window rails put in and TESTED with a window glass in place incl. all the machanics as it pulls window in a "decent direction" besides the rails going it. The window glass might move outwards as going up. I had issues and still have as the window glass stickes out too much at the upper end..(this requires to my insight some metal work on the door upper inlet respective the out side metall trim)

2) the cat wiskers here you want to put fabric tape on the door rail BEFOR you put the fixtures for thewskers..and then snap the wiskers in. Avoids cracking the nice paint as much as possible

3) mirrors & outer trim, well it depends I have the "I think" Ford Mustang mirrors which are glued to the 3angle window. Check the trim and how it fits with the mirrors as aplies. BEFOR putting the tim finally

4) the trim, you need the correct rivetts, well in my case all is black i.e GTS, so did go for BLACK fals rivetts,.

5) I did gue the the rubber parts with TEMPERATURE STABLE glue. 

..still thinking of other issues I had.. window alignement was a big mess..and still is on passenger side..

hope I hit your questions..happy to help..
