after the old ones are removed, doors took about 30 minutes each, t-tops longer because there's a few rivets(by the way, have a drill with a 3/16 bit handy because two of the plastic pins aren't even close to lining up with the original holes), the hood strip is quick, but the hardest is the rear window. start at the bottom and use #8 X 1/2'" screws to hold it into position and flare the upper corners out so that the window will not interfer with it and fold the strip over. once there set in place, install the tops, window and close the hood and doors to hold the strips while the adhesive sets. also use masking tape to cover the painted side of the tops and the rear deck and fly-over. you'll find that you'll grab the tops and other painted surfaces with adhesive covered fingers!

The hardest part is the cleaning of the old material! You can use the 3M general purpose cleaner and it will work on some of the old stuff, but it can really be a pain.
How much time? This depends on how you do the installation. We always advise customers to do a complete re-adjust on the door windows so this adds to the time required.
We have instructions on our web site for the adjustment of the door glass as well as some tips on how to glue the weatherstrip so it will never come loose.
