Looks good.. Totally thought when you said "trusty screw driver" that it said "rusty" I was like hope you didn't use a rusty screw driver! haha

Excellent write up on this. I bought some supercab pieces for my crewcab thinking they were the same. They aren't. Anyway instead of using a screwdriver for this I took a wood shim broke it so it's skinny and ran it in there. Once it's gets to the thicker part of the shim it releases the clip. The only reason I did the was to keep from scratching up the paint with the screwdriver.

Also, on the double face tape you can use on of those long box type razer blades. Stick the blade inbetween the pillar and door and run it up or down to cut the tape and you can get the pillar removed without damage. I had to put my original back on after realizing the SC didn't fit the CC on the rear door.

Great write up though.

once you bend it it will never seat right, my drivers side looks horrible after taking it off to get the doors painted
