At least you don't have to cut 4 1/2 inches off of it before you install it. Unfortunetly, I have become proficient at both cutting and breaking glass.

It's not to difficult to install. Just don't use "Window Weld". Use the other stuff that is non hardening.

I had a pro come out and hook mine in , He did it for 50 bucks in about 10 minutes.

Then he was nice enough to show me how to do my rear glass myself .


So i had a pro do the front and i did the rear. DOnt do the rope thing , Get a buddy and a "hook" and do i t that way , worked really slick with one guy holding light pressure on the windshield.

THe hook i made was just an old straight screw driver bent in a 90 degree angle and rounded off on the end . That and a bottle of windex to lube the seal and it was in in no time flat.

Mac why not do the rope thing? Just wondering since the rope thing worked real well for me.

Had two broken on my Chevelle. One taking it out and one putting new one in. It was a pro and he said he had never broken one before.

It is extremely satisfying doing a job like this yourself.
