I did this work for three weeks ago. I don't remove the window glass and
rubber from Westy. My work exchanged only chrome (plastic) beadings.
I started this work from the right slide door.
Because, my hand reach to the slide door/back side...
Therefore, I am not using the string. Okay?
I used Sunday's all times to this work. (6:30AM~7:30PM)
Sorry poor at my English!

Yoshi from Japan,
87' Westy

PS: My thumb(R and L) still aches. Does anyone know the good medicine?
ahaha.... (^_^)
