Start tooling in the WS from one corner to the other. Go slow and let the ends hang until the top corning positions are close

If statisfied stake the top corners. Use a little 3M adhesive on the longer corner pins..

Now tool in the side pillars. (very easy due to large channels) Place some ws adhesive on the lower corners of each side. Now place the two pins back into the lower corners. I use a little adhesive on the back side of the lower area as it holds the pins in place. now snap this section in place.

Final result, Total of 90 mins. Best advise is to take your time and remove all the old material. Makes the reinstall a dream. Do not buy the overpriced WS lubricant from MADvet in the small tube. Some dialectric grease is all that is needed to protect the material from time to time. GC

Great write up, GC. I'll be doing this myself soon. Would it be easier to remove the seats so you could actually stand up in the car or is it not that big of an issue?

Its not a requirement once you start channeling in the WS after about a 1/4 of the way the rest of it becomes trained and falls into place nicely. The tools make it very easy. The key to success is a fully cleaned channel like I pictured which will take most of your time.
