Ok, so my Louvres arrived today. And I can't wait to install them. (They're the Shadow Louvres)
I went to menards, and got the strongest 3M doublesided mounting tape (exterior/weatherproof). I then went to Advanced Auto and got glass cleaner and microfibre towels to clean the glass with.
I then went to the DIY car wash, gave the car a quick wash, and a really good wash on the rear/hatch area. Scrubbed it with the foam brush, and pressure washed the hatch like a mofo.
Then when it got time to actually mount the louvres, I got confused. After playing around a bit, and positioning it in various ways, it appears that the mounts for the louvres get stuck to the glass... UNDER the weatherstripping around the edge of the glass.
Does this mean that I need to take my car to a shop and have the louvres professionally installed? Or will I need to redo the weatherstripping after I'm done installing? I can't seem to squeeze the mounts under the weatherstripping.
(Jessop, would Arrowhead Autobody do this kind of thing? If I have a place professionally mount the louvres, I might as well have my window tint redone at the same time.)
