best tip, very carefully...lol. You will need a trim removal tool to remove trim from around the windows, the old days of doing it with a screwdriver are long gone if you plan on reusing your trim. my advise would be to buy a good tool from an autobody speciality store or eastwoods online not that junk that harbor freight sell. good luck
