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

- scratch that. you need a #3 phillips for most of the screws. a 10mm socket works wonders too. --> Matt (93SE) 00:06:48 9/04/2002 (2)
  - Yes, plus it is too easy to accidentlally overtighten and strip with the socket wrench n/m Bryan (91 SE, 92 SE) 07:21:45 9/05/2002 (0)
  - yup, you're right; I have #3 listed on the page, but I got mixed up «§» (93 SE) 08:19:29 9/04/2002 (0)
