It appears that you have welded the wrap around ends to the door panel, which then makes the window surround trim impossible to remove. How did you engineer that so the window surround can be removed?
Are you eliminating the rubber weather stripping that seals the inside of the door to the door jamb?
Thanks,

i welded the dash ends directly to the window trim, there is one sheet metal screw in the bottom half attaching it to the actual door. for exactly that reason. be advised this mod is not for the faint of heart, it's a whole lot of work but man does it look cool when finished.
