Not sure why there would be negative comments about going non-power brakes. You get infinitely better feedback and control. Plus, with the right diameter and travel master you'll still have plenty of force.

They're just held in with butyl rubber and some clips. Just be careful removing the surrounding trim, loosen/remove the screws on the few clips that are actually holding the window, then carefully and slowly pull the window away from the frame. It helps to have a sharp knife to cut the butyl as it stretches to avoid making a mess. After that, just shove the new one into place on the butyl and tighten/put in the screws you removed and put the trim back on.

I'm sure that in the manual is says to remove all of the butyl rubber, clean with alcohol, and apply new butyl rubber sealant. I've never done this and never had a problem, even after R&R'ing the same window a half dozen times.

The sad thing is it could've been in the garage had it been able to roll. But our attic stair blew down and stuff so I might have been better off outside.

Glad to see mother nature didn't take her away from you completely. Scuffs and dents can be fixed...finding it 10 miles away in 10 pieces can't be fixed.

Glad to hear you're safe as well, brother. I'm still taking you up on the SD tuning we talked about through text. :D

Losing Motivation... :S

I need to find some place to live which is draining me. The rental we are in, the owner is still trying to sell it. Nothing like losing 2 places to live in 2 months.

Looks great though man, can't wait to see this beast up and running!
