no problem. i figured it out.
I'm just waiting on some t3 stuff to come in so that i can just pop them in and be done!
i also bought rear coilovers. i dont know when they'll be here but sure is exciting!

I was wondering if anyone knew how to put the outer and inner squeegee?
do i have to remove all the windows?
and another problem is that my outer squeegees did not come with clips, so what should i do?

Outer squeegees are supposed to come with clips.

I had a thread over on ratsun... I'm at work, else I would find it...

I think i found it.
you also somewhat mentioned that you're suppose to pull the window. do you have to?

im not really sure how to take off the inside felt.
i found a post of yours if that's what you're speaking of.

You pull the window for the channel felt. Its easy really... but you kinda just have to play with it.

Squeegees dont need the window pulled.

do you have the link to how to put in the inner?
my outer is from thailand so i have no idea how ill be putting it on.
I don't think ill be putting on my felts as they seem to hold the window fine from there.

i bet when i put the front door panels on and the speakers, its gonna shake like a bitch...

Really, just do the felts. Its not hard to pull the windows. To remove the outer chrome/stainless trim, simply pull straight up.

If you read my post on ratsun, thats all there is to it really.

Just takes time.

I might as well.
I've never taken apart my window because I never really knew how so i could learn that as well.

what should i do for the outer since there is no clips?

and for inner, is it just glued?
ill try to find your ratsun post now

edit:
found this thread if this is the one you're speaking of?
http://community.ratsun.net/topic/44041 ... ntry697131

you say you can glue them as if it's an option?
should i just use adhesive spray?

jesus, thinking of removing my window and can only imagine the fail. haha.
excited to get my t3 bearings.
and rear coil overs.
and taking my behind the wheel test in 5 days on my birthday!!!!!
september 5th. wish me luck.

No spray....

Mine are not glued in... but they sometimes like to dislodge because of that.

Outers... I have no idea.... staples?

alright, i wont use glue. mainly, it'll just be the front two doors comin down anyways.


to take out the old felt and inner, do i just peel em out?

I'm gonna hopefully take out the window tomorrow and get all the new felts and squeegees in.
i'll just put em into place hoping they hold. i can't seem to see the inner staying in place without something holding it but we'll see.

idk how ima fit the outer, maybe put a staple through.

Just take them out, using whatever method seems best to you. Just dive in!

so i took them out and replaced them. it was incredibly easy but i have not done the outer squeegees because im not sure how to yet.

i came upon a problem. in the package of stuff i got for the suspension, im missing a little metal piece that goes onto the brake calipers to hold the pads in.
im not sure where to get another one.

im unsure how to put the pads in.

any help?
thanks
