You can...just use red 3M tape to secure it to the glass.

No I don't have an esky rear glass. I got all this stuff off an 05 esky and it has the old 3m tape spots where they ripped it off so I just put new one on and it's on there like door side moulding with 3m double sided tape all the way around.

Scored some esky exterior and interior door handles. Dropped off the exterior handles at the paint shop for the surrounds to be color matched olympic white. The interior looks SO much better with the chrome interior esky oem door handles. Also got a new driver side bottom leather oem replacement seat that was torn to shit before.
Some mods not pictured are: all three OEM new windshield wiper arms and new blades (Bosch up front RainX in the rear), two new driver side fender flare panels I Found used on ebay already painted white, new steering wheel controls for the esky steering wheel, new internal radio antenna and new shorter gloss black antenna itself. Got the esky cluster, new Depo projectors with Mccullough HID kit (I dunno some ebay brand that cost me 150). Also ordered 880 type CREE LED fog lights that are 7200 lumens total are on the way still. Still gotta get LED's for puddle lamps and license plate.
HID's in the other housing (sad I'm already on my second set of headlights already) I had was way too much so glad I finally have them in a projector even though the cutoff isn't as crisp as a built retrofit setup, it'll do for a quick ebay solution. Here are the pics:

Just put it on today haven't tested it yet. Had one similar on my 07 Avalanche and it worked fine so I think it'll be ok.

I did the delete mod and layed the antenna in the fender. I live in the very middle of town so I have good reception. If I leave town I usually plug in the ipod cause it's gonna be a long ride anyway lol
But I haven't left town since i did the mod
so don't even know if there is a difference lol

So happy you went with the chrome heads instead if black. Matches perfectly.

It's dirty bc I was about to leave to go on a 22 hour road trip to colorado from Louisiana. When I get back from snowboarding it'll get nice and washed.
Next is the used escalade door handle surrounds and pulls. I got them dissembled and color matched it and really got it for the chrome pull. Mine are in bad shape so I wanted a fresh set. The chrome esky handles I got were in good shape too. So it'll look new once it's painted Olympic white.
Future mods: chrome exhaust oem tip, cold air intake, Valentine one radar wired to battery with factory looking mount, viper 5906v remote start with lcd screen.
