If you can change your socks you can do this!


I was waiting for my daughter to get ready and decided to pull off the seal. 15 mins later the new seal was in and the window was cleaned!!!!



Why did I wait so long!!!!

Yes it was literally that easy to remove!

once the channel was vacuumed and cleaned the whole trim was installed in less than 5 minutes!

lol. the one on mine front and rear is still new. Actually I WISH the front were this easy. Most cars you have to remove the windshield to get it correct because there is sealant stuck to it. Once it's out, it's impossible to clean from the underside of windshield and to top it off it has a lip on the succer and impossible to seal correctly with the sealant stuck to windshield. Luckily that rock hit me just in time. lool

You pulled it off so quick, I only had time to help you clean off the glue from the spoiler you had.

It was made a lot easier by the fact that the old seal was crumbling so badly. It basically came off in my hands.

There are two rubber seals if all you are getting is the rubber seal. ECS charges a fair amount for shipping, so shop around. either way it should be less than $100. $100 if you just get the parts through the dealer.

I think I paid $30-$40?
