Relatively easy, if you take your time, measure side to side and front to back, have plenty of tools (spring loaded clamps, tools for removing and replacing your glass and seals) and adhesives around (3M spray, RTV, etc) as well as cold beer, that way you can do it without having to abandon the project to resupply. Just procede slowly, don't rush the glue and it'll be a breeze. Yes, the windows had to come out but if you take the windows out carefully you shouldn't damage any of them and yes, the pillar pieces came with it, but were in one piece and had to be cut to fit. > Toby "more projects than time or money" Erkson Don't I hear that!
