rear window is inside out

Post by bjde0b »

I put the weatherstripping and trim on my rear window and when I got done, I realized I had the window inside out because of the etched Ford logo. Would this bother anybody else or am I being anal. Like others have said, it took me a couple hours to get it all put together so I hate doing it again.

Me personally,i would change just so it would not be on my conscious.Even though it will take a couple hours i think you will be glad you fixed it.

I think the only person who would notice is you.
But it shouldn't take two hours to switch it around either.
If it were mine I'd probably leave it.

It's up to you.

If it were mine, it would have been a no brainer. Take it out & do it right. Im anal like that tho. It would eat me up knowing it was backwards.


It's not going to hurt anything backwards tho. :thup:

Your choice, but I would take the time to do it right. Every time I thought of it I would think :doh: (If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right.)

I flopped it. The job took me about an hour and fifteen minutes. I would challenge anyone in a head to head race with the chrome trim.

Good deal! :thup:

You could go into buisness installing the chrome trim. 20min. or less or it's free. :D
