I believe the socket size you'll need is 10mm and a phillips screwdriver. It did seem hard at first... but I was very surprised how easy it is with a good print out of the write up from Craig's site right next to you.

Little tip: Don't let the window fall and bash your finger. Man, that hurt. Too bad Craig has a disclaimer on the write up or I will be filing some lawsuits. lol jk Craig.

: You should be able to do it yourself in 30 minutes - 1 hour. If you have the right tools (a large #2 phillips head screwdriver and some sockets), you should be fine. Just look through the pics, I tried to take a pic of everything that needs to be done. If it seems complicated from the pics, trust me it's not. Once you get going, you'll see what to do.
: So yes, do it yourself

: I know you probably want opinions from others besides the author, but too bad :)

: : i know this is a common problem and submition but are the window regulators easy enough to install myself or am i better off paying a mechanic to put them in. I know about craig's page but i am curious to here how hard or time consuming it was. thanks
