    Now being all-thumbs, and very few tools, I hope installing them is as easy as everyone is saying.

    The gallery indicates a dremel tool was needed to remove the old tabs? Is that correct?
    No dremmel needed...

    I just used my little air grinder there cause i have one and it made quick work of it! You can get them off with a razor scraper, and if your tabs are already broken then it will be real easy to remove them.

    Looks like you've upgraded your equipment since our camping trip! Cool video's. You should check out the Canyon del Oro river on the Gap trail. A lot of local prospectors go out there and there are quite a few posted claims out there.

    I posted videos of the Window Fixin' Party on my Youtube channel.

    It really is as easy as it sounds, however, installing the brackets alone doesn't always fix the problem. You may need to add some washers as spacers to realign the guide mechanism. Tom uploaded some pictures of his mods in the thread.
