Good write up buddy

Few tips if you don't mind.

There is no need to remove the window frame at all.
I've changed glass, handles, soft close latches and entire wiring on front and rear door and I have never ever touched the frame and no, it doesn't take longer with frame in, it's probably quicker.

In regards to electric blinds, yes, the service mode is a b1tch so I found the way to remove them without the need of service mode, again really simple and easy.

Also replacing rear or front door top chrome trim is easy without the need of removing window frame.

FYI, non of these methods requires breaking or cutting bits so after the job is done everything is as it was before.
