Just kidding. My pictures are beasts and maybe you didn't let them load. Wait a few minutes longer and check them out.

This is simple to do. Open both doors. On the rear door you need to remove the trim piece. Be carefull not to bust the plastic fitting for the trim piece (I busted both of mine, but they are cheap. 2 weeks to get because special order parts!) Now make sure it is warm out or you have a hair dryer handy. When the trim is warm grab it in the corner on the backside of the door and start to remove it. DO IT SLOWLY and make sure you don't tear it. It will pull out from underneath the weatherstripping if you are patient. After all film is removed use bug and tar remover or 3M adhesive remover to remove the adhesive on the paint. Next wax the paint. Then put your tim back on. To do this you will need a very small screwdriver, as in the kind you would use to fix a pair of glasses or pry open a watch. A mechanical pencil tip make work as well, but I can't be sure. Use your screwdriver to strech the trim piece over the small trim holders. do this for eachof the 3? holders in each of the rear doors. then put your plastic retaining clip in the top of the trim and you are done!You will figure it out as you go along. Its tought to mess this one up unless you lack patience. Also the adhesive is a beast to remove so be prepared to put some effort into getting it off as well as having sore fingers for a few hours.
i got the glue off my taking this stuff called desolv it, it is the greatest stuff ever, just put some on a papertowel and then rub it on, let it sit for like 5 minutes and then the glue turns into jello and you can scrape it off with your fingernail. sorry sean but i dont have anyway to get pics on the net. but trust me, it looks sweet.
