The VR/VS moulds fit except you have to use the VP Berlina/Calais rear quarter window with the inbuilt moulds. The door top moulds are held on by screws. The back door has a screw at the b pillar end and a second screw under the fixed window. You have to take the door trim off to get to the screw. The front door only has one screw at the b pillar end. The mirror keeps the other end in place. I've put a VR calais set onto a VN exec.

Take the whole window & replace yours (3 screws on pillar, 5 or 6 plastic nuts inside car & sealant).

You have to take the rear quarter window surround out on the inside of the car. The seatbelt bolt goes through it on the c pillar.

VN V6 Commodore Executive....and a London bus
Hey, have to admit I was wrong, I had a look at some of these pics with VN's with the chrome round da window. **** it can look awesome on a dark car, but I'm still not sure about light colored cars... hmmm. The only example I've seen before this are on Lexan Glx's... is there some reason they look so crook on Lexan's? Are the chrome mouldings different, or is it just that Lexan's have all that horrible detail (rubber bits glued on ect) that make the whole car look crook? Or is it just that most are beige or weak puke green?!
