The window glass comes clean with nothing attached other than the locks, as mentioned in an earlier post the bottom lip looks to have a manufacturing defect or maybe on purpose? Basically lower lip is not straight, it waves in and out from these nipple looking glass points almost like where the liquid glass was poured. Not extremely noticeable but its there on both windows.
So now is time to find the right matching tint. I want to do this before the install so the tint will be fit around the holes etc.
Here is where its tricky, glass on the LC100 for the rears is not plastic tint its the actual glass that has the tint, how can I find a matching plastic film to go over this window? is there part numbers for these? Its the sort of reflecting copper toned glass. I want to get as close as I can to match the rest of the glass. Front glass (drivers/passenger front) are clear glass with a plastic film tint its close but lighter than the rest.

Thanks for the pictures I have been dying to see some! I still have a long wait for my fj60 ones! Make sure to post some install pics!
Glad to see they're shipping! I've not received any shipping notice, @ihadmail do you have tracking numbers?

I do not have tracking numbers. I did contact Emu Wing and they indicated that some of the 100 series units hadn't yet shipped but they will be going out within the week. Anyone who hasn't gotten a tracking number, or received their wings, will get a tracking number as soon as they ship.
Dumb question here, but do these mount on the inside or the outside of the car? It seems like the inside would be more secure, but would also require a lot of trimming of the headliner.
Thanks, I figured as such, but the instructions I received said to apply the Sikaflex to the inside of the frame.
I did the driver side this weekend. It takes 2 days to do one side although if you knew what you were doing you could do both in 2 days. the glue takes a day to set. and getting the window glued mounted and adjusted isn't the hard part to me. it was all the trimming on the interior panel that took so long. I had to trim about 2-3mm off the panel window area. and then some more to accommodate the hinges and latches.
And note that the labeled hinges (PS and DS) are switched or was for me. (maybe right hand driver)

How do they lock. Is it key from the outside. Can they be opened from the inside in the case I have the third row seats in and sitting still for awhile they could open the back window.
here is the interior panel back in place after trimming. (low light with iphone)
Do I get points for being first? 
HAHA
Anyway its a piece of cake... I would suggest to only take on one window at a time as its pretty much a two day deal.
When I removed the factory weather stripping after taking the glass off there was some dark grey grease or tacky residue left on the edge. its a pain to get off. I used a lot of elbow and mild degreaser with a couple of rags.
Tools Used:
8 spring clamps
calk gun
small magnet as nut retriever
12mm deep socket
10mm deep socket
10mm hand driver
7mm open end wrench
7mm hand driver
Allen wrench
Phillips head and flat head screwdrivers
newspaper (window shim)
dremel with cut off and sander
razor blade for cleaning up trimming of plastic panel
cordless drill

Installed mine over the wekend. My PS and DS seemed to be marked correctly for LHD vehicles. I wish I had tinted the windows before installation, but I guess I can always do that down the line. Functionality is great.
Installed mine. I'm dealing with trimming the trim. It appears you need to take some off all around the edge of the window? I started to do this with a dremel but that kind of butchered it. Has anyone tried to use a sander to do this more elegantly?
