Does anyone know how to remove the black trim on the inside of the window. I'm trying to tint my windows and was thinking it would be alot easier if I removed the inside trim.

Remove the door panels.
I remove the door panels and cut the tint slightly larger than the window. Spray down the glass and peel off the clear backing and spraying as I peel, helps to have a second person. Make sure you have the window down a couple inches and gently apply it to the window. This would be the time to move it around in position where it needs to be. Spray it down and start squeegieing "however it's spelled. Do not allow it to crease. I useually start from the center and work down all the way accross, then go up with the bow of the window.
You will get small bubbles and I think there called fisheyes. try to work them all out but if they are small, less than an inch you can wait till the next day and push them down with a credit card wrapped with a cloth.
Be sure to clean the glass right before you apply the film. You don't want trash under there.

It may seem harder to do it this way but with the door panel off you can work the whole window by rolling it up and down. Yes I think the trim can be removed but trust me if the door panel is removed it's a whole lot easier.
