I used a piece if plastic to pry the panels apart to slide it in spot. Once it is started it is pretty easy after that. I will try to find the seller when I get to my cpu.
Did you go all the way to the frt of the door(the section that you can't see when the door is closed) ? I ordered 10 feet in case I go that far.
Total 120 feet.

I did at first on the drivers side but ended up trimming it. It didn't look right and you only can see it when the doors are open. I would have just enough to do it that way with 3 yards.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering, about how it would look.......... I'll try it to see, and remove if I don't like.... Suppose to be here on Friday.
Thx....

Another thing that was a pain was the sections that would not go in all the way. I laid all the pipe down and found a few spots that would not go in completely, so I pulled it back to those points and trimmed some of the backing off so it had enough room to seat properly.

Good to know, so I can have tools ready to correct the areas ..........

Good luck! I am curious to see how it turns out. I will probably do that next after I am done with the stereo and backup camera.

Looks great. How was the install? What did you use to pry the panels apart?

Same as a credit card, but nothing that was of any use if broken...... I did the top back of door 1st, and found it too hard to open the bottom, so pulled the top and did the bottom, then did the top last.
That section at the bottom near the little coin holder and buttons where it does the s turns, it's a tad loose, so I cut the bead and ran the flange under/into the part that covers it so the flange acts as a holder......if that makes since.
