What about the dealer... or maybe try it doing it yourself?

so far as "DYI" if you want to organize a couple interested helpers (none of which may have had previous experience with this particular install - then that's up to you).

That being said, there are a ton of people here posting that I would trust with my car, but I do not want to sway you one way or another. If you want to consider a DIY install, post up here ... We're here to help.

$600 is about the right price for the job. A DYI takes two full days and as far as I know none of us have done that replacement. My recommendation is to talk to dealer and they will send you to 3rd party that currently does this job for them

If the dealer will do it for $600 it pays about 6 hours. So double that and have some fun and save $600. Couldn't be that hard, when I changed my window I had the entire top apart except the mounts.

Who wants to change piston cooling nozzles???
