A junkyard score!
But first, a break!
Now shove this pointy thing in there with brute force!
Cut enough from the sides and the top until you can flex the glass and see daylight
Because once you do, you can cut the rest from the outside...
And out, in about 45 minutes if you don't count the breaks to wipe sweat and guzzle water. It was 102* today
Nice perfect trim
So for those of you that want to know how much it cost to get "a new one" here's 1 method, find it, cut it out yourself ...(I plan on installing myself too)..the glass cost me a whopping $40

Small tip from a glass guy: bring a spray bottle full of water. Spray the urethane (the black rubbery "glue" that holds the backglass in) before and while cutting. Makes the slicing go much easier.

Any Install tips would be cool too, like "glue" brands to use, ones to stay away from.
Easy method of removing tint film, and remaining "glue" from the glass

I like it! Are you going to do the same thing with the door panels?

Already did the door panels, just gotta install them...I bought a trim set from the JY for $5 just incase I didn't like it.
The paint I got from you was used on that grill, this is krylon Fusion for plastics -gloss-

Sapper came over to use a shaded work area to replace the valve cover gaskets. Great fun! Not! He eventually listened to me when I said to remove the motor mount bolt allowing the covers to go off and on with ease.
Should keep the coils and plugs dry now, they were pretty wet.

Mine are leaking too, I just keep cleaning it out until I get my mechanic buddy to so some other work for me at the same time. I hope I can trust him, it's getting to the point where I can't get my car worked on anymore. Can't work here at my apartment, and can't find a shop that has time to do the work right away while I wait/obseve in the distance. I won't leav emy car to be hamfisted by some slaphappy oil monkey retard.

Ha! You would want to kick my ass, ask Jamie. If something CAN go wrong working on my car to make it harder, it WILL! Not that I wouldn't want to shoot the Sh*t with, or have my car worked on by those who know it well... But, if I had that kind of money, to drive to Texas to have my car worked on, I'd be driving Bill's car, or the one before the current one for that matter!
