By the way "Pros" are rarely rodders who can fab stuff up. There are a LOT of guys out there who would make a blooming mess of this. I watched a guy stick a 2006 Honda Odyssy hatch glass in last week who couldn't do your car to save his life. This was the owner of the company! He has a real good glass man who usually comes out (we have at least one or two glass going in or out every day) but he did this one. It actually hurt watching this fool TRY to install the glass. This is straight up, as easy as it gets, brand new glass with a brand new liftgate. First off, he was working in the sun, he layed the most God awful bead of urethane that I have ever seen! Picture a nice long turd out of your typical small dog, say a 10lb Pekinese, a five foot long turd around the pinch weld! He layed the urethane THEN went to find the glass and set up a stand to prepare it!!!!! The MORON put the urethane on the car BEFORE he even had the glass ready, in 90 degree heat IN THE SUN!
Well, needless to say he set the glass, or should I say TRIED to set it. He then had to cut and scrape all the urethane off and do it again. After a few hours (this is a 15 min job at best) he left with it "done". The next morning the tech working on the car called me over and showed me how the glass was about an 1/8" higher than the right quarter and an 1/8" lower then the left! What a marroon (in my best Bugs Bunny voice).
The window had to be cut out and replaced by a REAL glass tech.
And this is the type of guy who would tell you how great he is! He WOULD take your job on, and you would have CRAP when it was done.
Build up the post, make it RIGHT so laying the glass is easy. And then do it yourself with butyl tape.
