Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 182 Registered: Nov-04 | I was thinking of having my friend take his car to a shop to get all the stuff installed. Then I asked myself, why can't I do it myself? I know how, but the only thing I don't know how to do is take the car apart! I know you've been installing for a while, got any tips? Are there vehicle specific manuals/instructions on how to take the doors and the panels off? I appreciate all your help in advance, thanks. |

Just keep in mind, if it feels like something is holding it (you missed a screw) you probably did. Look it over and go from there. As for a manual, most car part stores carry vehicle specific manuals for about 20 bucks. The go into almost everything you will need to pull. |

My other advice is use the right tool for the job when working on cars. have tools like a door panel cotter pin puller and window crank pin remover if you need them. Have a good DMM, and/or a test light. Have the right screw driver sizes, a good socket set, a torx driver set, and so forth. A decent service jack is handy too if you need to get under the car, along with jack stands and a creeper. stuff like that. |
