Freaking shops telling me $350-450 to install the back window only. That is SUCH a rip off

I bought a DVD from 50resto that walks you through the whole install. It was 20 bucks but now I can do it myself.

price sounds about right. I was quoted at $500+. Instead I redid the top in canvas and had them reseat the old window for $1,400.

Cost me about $800 to have a new top and window installed. Go with OEM or Electron Top at LMR. They are the only ones worth spending your money on..

Sadly, the freakign LMR have a 10 day waiting to even get the glass shipped. I ordered one from american muscle and itll be here tomorrow.
A good shop quoted me $250 and another shop quoted me $180 for 4 hour labor and $200 for 5 hour labor.

007, let's say on a scale 1-5 how would you rate the easiness of the install?
