IIRC there's something about the door gap that changes when you do it, and you'll need to make some filler pieces for the roof

I removed the drip rails on my old truck(83 gmc 1/2 ton) and i liked how sleek it made it look but hated driving it in the rain. Nice little shower when i opened up the door. If your defroster isn't working or you like to crack the window a bit it might become a bit of an issue. If you can live with that I say do it, nothing like a smooth flowing vehicle
