A mechanic quoted me $600 to install this part. I paid less than 50 to do it myself. I had never done this job though my mechanical perception is much higher than the average person I think. I can typically figure these things out well enough on my own. I watched a YouTube video that showed me how to remove my doors inner panel. It showed me how to peel back the moisture barrier. The video showed me where I could access the bolts to unscrew the glass and the part that I was replacing. The YouTube video showed me how to pull the window up with my hands and tape it at the top so that I could pull the part out while avoiding the window. The video showed me how to install the new part as well. There’s nothing hard about it, per se, just time consuming. If you’re like me and can justify wasting that much money on convenience it’s definitely something that you can probably do as a novice with access to YouTube.
