This happened in Seattle, I can't believe it. Eye roll. Looking forward to this thread. What does the to-do list look like?

Awesome pics! Your wheel spacing fitment looks perfect too, are you using spacers on the front and rear, or are those wheels one of the lower offset versions of the M-parallel?
Ooh, nice!
How ironic - they came to take valuable scrap metal, and left you some (less) valuable scrap metal instead.
I'm impressed that the 27-28 year old tilt sensor did its job. If I were in your place, I'd've removed it ages ago and come to regret it. Then again, where I live, people don't call 911, they call 811.
Beautiful pics and glad your alarm worked! Like you said probably the only time one has ever been useful.

Went a little detail crazy a couple of weeks back. Took some time to try to get the hang of a DA polisher, and then finished it all up with a ceramic coat. It turned out nice, but didn’t grab pics, and then the car had to sit outside and now its gross again. Lol.
I did rip off all the trim though, which gave me a chance to clean underneath it, as well as polish it up. Finally got everything back on.
New clips and all:
Also took the opportunity to polish out the rear glass. It has some sort for really aggressive etching on it which was quite a PITA to get out. But it came out pretty nice. Finished that up with some new window trim as the old stuff was pretty crispy.

Looks great! Are the rear window trims as expensive as the fronts?
Wow your car looks so damn clean! Any tips for getting that rear window trim off? Were you able to remove it without breaking any of the mounting clips that straddle the edge of the glass?
Thanks!
Nope. Every single one snapped.
I was able to get new clips installed without having to remove the glass. A small mod of the clip was required though in order to get it installed properly and in the right place. Happy to go into more details for anyone facing a similar situation.

Living vicariously through this thread.

I'm curious. When I removed and reinstalled my windshield trims, I actually removed the clips altogether and just stuck them to the glass with 3M VHB. It's the right thickness and holds well, but I've always felt the trim was more annoying than just not having it (or using an aftermarket rubber gasket like some glass shops will do).
Amazing! I love these kind of deep dive details. So satisfying.
