Are they painting in place, or removed? Also, as you have have been working out alignment issues, have you checked the fit on the driver and passenger windows...do they you think they will seal well once the door gasket is installed (and won't bind when window drops when door is opened)? Sorry, just wanted to help think of things before paint

I appreciate it. The up side and drop on the windows is fine. They need to be adjusted in at the top a little to meet the gasket but I understand that can be done. Once they get it painted then I thought Id start working on the windows. They are painting it off the car as far as I know. Should find out alot more tomorrow. Hopefully all good news ��
I still could use a pic of the 3rd brake light location. The instructions are awful. It says something like "wire up 3rd brake light and place on car" that's it �� No pic, no mention of where to place it. Weird. Alot of the parts mentioned on the instructions have been updated or not even used anymore. I called and asked about a few of the parts mentioned in the instructions and was told that those parts aren't used anymore.
Thanks for your help!

Good news on that gap ive been fighting on the bottom of the hatch. It wasn't the hatch. While leaning over and removing the hatch all those times i dislodged the left side of my spoiler. When I got to the body shop and went over what I wanted done. I pointed out that gap, he reach over and pushed the spoiler back in place...no gap

Great work so far JB!
I will be out for a few more weeks, trying to recover.

What happened? I was wondering where you've been.
