Need to install new sail panels

[jscott]

How difficult is it to install new sail panels with rear window already in place?  Would rather ask here first before I do it.  Thanks

I haven't done it with the window in myself but from other post I've read and knowing how they go in you should be able to do it with no problems. Just need to trim and tuck the material that normally goes around the window flange up under the rubber gasket. Might want to use a little adhesive to keep it in place.

I was just working in this area, but can someone explain which one is the "sail" panel?

Okay, those..... I have installed them twice without removing the window. Mine fit fairly lose. You would need to losen the top screws of the side plastic panels that pinch it in place and remove the vertical trim between the sail panel and window.

Wow, this post just made me realize that the ones in my car are very wrong. They are DIY carpeted things that are just about rotted away and basically like a big triangle. I was about to make a new set based on those. But now I see I can buy something that is actually the right shape.

Thanks
