Yes they will. If not argue with them, or go to another shop. As long as nothing has been butchered to get them in then there should be no problem

If the stripping is not damaged, go to a body shop or glass shop and have them urathane it back down. It should not come back up one you have done that.

I do not suggest buying any of the factory stripping. It is usually exspensive. The Auto glass shop that I deal with has many different weather strippings that they buy in a role. It isn't identical to factory but does the job and only someone that is extremely hard core could tell the difference. I...

sorry, I forgot that the 4cyl use a cable for the speedo, so you might better check with someone who has done the swap on a 4cyl.

You have all the parts listed you will need. You may need the drivers side transmission mount. I know you do on the V6's not sure about the 4cyl You shoulden't need the cluster, just take the hold light bulb out. On both the cars I converted to 5-speed I diden't need the Brake resevior either. But I...
