Hello all

I have the chrome trimming around the windows and was wondering how difficult is it to swap them out to the shadow line trim? Any specific tools or things to replace/purchase while Im doing the swap? Thank you!

One little hint, when putting the horizontal pieces at the bottom of the windows, spray a little silicone lubricant to help get them to slip into place....this made my install MUCH easier!
