    You could save some $$$ and do them yourself. Each window is a "rope-in" installation. With the gl*** laying face-down on a table or bench, install the rubber onto the gl***, beginning with the bottom corners, then the top corners, then working the remainder of the rubber onto the window. Using a 1/4" rope insert the rope into the groove that lips over the body, starting at bottom dead centre, then overlap the rope where they join at bottom centre. Carry the gl*** over to the vehicle, setting it into position. Get on the inside of the vehicle and pull the rope (you could lubricate it with gl*** cleaner or dish soap), starting with one end of the rope and going about half-way up the post. Give the gl*** a light open-handed slap on the outside to help seat it. Then, start with the other end of the rope and do the same. Choose a side and continue to rope it in so that it's a few inches inward along the top, then pull the other half of the rope again. Another open palmed slap on the outside will help. Then, grab both rope ends and pull at the same time until the rope is out of the rubber. Another few slaps on the outside and the rubber will seat itself. Look to make sure none of the rubber has remained unlipped over the pinchweld. If so, use a hook (kotter pin remover or the like) and lip it manually over the pinchweld. Hope this helps.

    I've done a few (mostly VW winshields) but for some reason I just can't get these to work. I'm frustrated... it's hot... and I've already dropped the front window twice scratching and chipping my fresh paint... I know when to throw in the towl. :eek:

    Fogger: I forgot about the Gl*** House.
    Eric: Thanks La Puente is actually closer I think.
