How hard is this? Am I crazy to take this on myself? I've never done it. I'm not afraid of a little work, just afraid of either screwing something up or not getting it to be tight enough. Any input would really help.

Just take your time, start at the front and work your way back. Really not that hard, but of course I've done four of them now, so they're easy for me :nana:  :smilielol:

I did mine and lets just say, it turned out ok but not good enough for my standards so I am having a professional do it.  The hardest part I had was around the C posts which is a major pain in the butt.

HANDM,

   What is the best way to keep it tight over the C posts?

I thought about gluing it, but just kept extra material there to have a bit to grab onto and pull at the winshiled and door sides,while at the same time installing the molding.
Cut and tucked the excess, worked, but would have been easier with help.
