Installation is pretty much the reverse of the above. I did it in this order: sunroof opening rear, rear light & bracket, rear passenger assist handles, C-pillar panels, B-pillar panels (be careful to line up the seatbelt height adjuster handles) rear-door seals, move seats back, front assist handles, sunroof sides, header panel & end clips, header accessories, front door trim, sunroof trim.
Total time was around 4-1/2 hours. This included some "while I'm in there" projects such as running to the shop to get a rear reading lamp harness so that I could install the rear-seat reading lamps (pic 1).
A new front header panel with center visor instead of the optional phone control/display/microphone module. Trimming the new panel to accept the auto-dimming mirror mount plate (with wire hole). (pic 2).
Going through boxes in the basement to find my last remaining auto-dimming mirror and wire harness (pic 3, 4, & 5).
