Someone did a write up over on www.4x4wire.com a while ago. Don't have time to search for you right now, but check it out, and you'll find it. It's fairly easy as i remember (not having ever done it myself).

Good luck

thanks yall. i figured it out

[86 4runner]

how did you do it?

[crawlerdan [OP]]

THE WHOLE "FRAME" THAT THE FRONT SLIDERS ARE MOUNTED IN IS GLUED TO THE FIBERGLASS PORTION OF THE TOP, USING A RAZOR BLADE, I SCORED A HALF INCH CUT THROUGH AS MUCH AS I COULD REACH, AFTER THAT, LIGHT PULLING PRESSURE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY PULLED OUT. FROM THERE THE TRIM UNSCREWS WITH 8 SMALL PHILLIPE HEAD SCREWS. THE REARS UNBOLT AND HAVE AN ADHESIVE SEAL ON THEM ALSO THAT MUST BE BROKEN, I USED A SMALL FLATHEAD. AS FOR RE-INSTALLATION, MAKE SURE ALL THE OLD ADHESIVE HAS BEEN REMOVED, AND REAPPLY A SMALL BEAD OF WINDOW MOULDING GLUE OR EQUIVALENT. HOPE THIS HELPS ALL YA LL!

Sorry, If I would have read this earlier, I would have told you that. Yeah, there just glued on like the front windshield. Actually, you put them on the same way you put the windshield on.

[TrackVino]
