I had to take the car in to Ford for a TSB and while it was in the shop I let their glass guy install them for me. I took it early in the morning and got it back by 6 pm. They said they finished around 11 am but the car had to sit to let the adhesive seal properly.

Thanks for the compliments.

 

I did it in several hours myself just over a year ago from the outside. I would highly recommend that method if you plan on installing these as it makes it very easy. The prep took far longer than the actual cutting and you don't have to remove any of the interior. Also, you're less likely to scratch the paint (if you tape it off well).

Well I started the the very time consuming task of wet sanding w/ 2000 grit and then 1st polishing out w/ 3M Perfect It polishing compound. I will follow that up w/ 3M Finesse II finishing compound then I can do the install. I'm still debating about tinting them a little first, to me they are a little light to what I had. I might tape them in and see how dark they look first so that way if there not dark enough I'll pop em out and get some RC spray tint.

 

I'm thinking about purchasing a set of these. Would you be able to assist with the install? I live in Springfield, about 30-45 minutes away.

 

Do post some pictures when you get them installed.

 

I will do that, probable be in a couple of weeks. My fingers can only take so much polishing and rubbing...lol

 

Well its Saturday and cold as all get out so I decided to turn the heat on in the garage and take the quarter glass out. I nicked the paint in one place, Grrrrr I'm going to use duct tape twice for the pass. side

 

Yeah I read that it was recommended to use at least two layers of painters tape around the windows. Did you remove the interior?
Turning the heat on would help with a proper seal. SHR recommends in temps 60° or higher.
Can't wait to see them installed.

 

I didnt remove the interior I did the outside removal as shown on the SHR site. I use masking tape 1st layer and duct tape 2nd but on the pass. side I used the duct tape twice and I got it out w/ no problems. I had the garage around 70*, I was even sweating...lol. I decided I'm not going to tint @ this time maybe later if I feel I need too.
I am going to start the 2nd round of polishing w/ the Finesse II finishing material, then I'll be ready for install.

Note: If any one has to pay over $80 for this install I would say you can definately do it yourself, just be sure to have it plenty protected and keep track were the friggin cutting wire is in relationship to the paint.

 

A do it yourself!
Proud of you son.
