is it a job for a window specialist

or can the tool be bought

do you just leave the trim on the rubber and cut out as a hole unit ?

thanks

it that was the case i would bring a battery grinder & cut the panel surrounding it out (if they let you) then you can take the time to cut them out carefully or by a pro
