Default Chrome window weather stripping.... HELP

I ordered my Chrome stripping from Trdsparks.com and recieved my stuff perfect, the only thing is I can't get my oem ones off to put my new ones on. Is there a way to do it yourself? I ask the dealership how much to just pull my oem ones off and they wanted to charge me $70. If I had the Nylon tool, I could do it myself.
Open to any suggestions...

$70 bucks! Geez you could probably buy the tool cheaper. Maybe someone at a body shop could pop them off for a few bucks under the table. Post some pics when you get them on. I have a TCM and am thinking about the chrome strips and handles for mine.

He did it already, it's in the pix he linked to. It's pretty subtle on a TCM...



Thanks for the info Myopic for when I get around to doing it

Great write up Myopic, I had a friend lend my some lock picking tools. I needed something that had a 90 degree bend on the end. Turned out it took me only 10min for the whole thing. The back was really easy, no tool required. LOL

Haha, def not a professional, but nice of you to say so. I think it's more obsessive compulsive... Also helps to have friends with more technical knowlege than I do.

Dajap's is definitely one of the nicest xB's I've seen.

Where's your pix Myopic? Looks like you have some nice mods on yours...
