Perfect, so just a two person job.

Hey Jack,

What did you use to be able to get on the screws at the bottom of window as it's super tight.  I bought a little right angle ratchet, but it's way tighter than I thought.  Also what did you use for solvent to get off whatever Newell used orginally to clean up any residual adhesive?

I chickened out upon taking a harder look at those three screws on the bottom.  Since I don't have any water leaks, just some wind noise I wanted to improve on I went for cleaning the existing exterior joint up and putting in a fresh bead of Sikaflex.  Let it cure overnight and we'll see how much improvement I got tomorrow.  I was between 80-90dB under most driving so I'm also curios to see if that meter will show a measureable difference or if I'll just have to rely on my ears.  Have to think it will help a bunch as tape did help as Richard suggested as a first step.  Passenger side was always pretty good, it was just the drivers that was bad.
