Pretty easy install, the first one was a pain, but the second went really quick.
2 screw on the top

1 bolt on the bottom


Make sure to pull off all the rubber, so the window can move so you can pull it out


The vent window will tilt back

and once you get the window out of the track you can get enough clearance to pull it out all the way. BUT there is an easier way (that I figured out with the second window) on the first, my felt guide was pretty much destroyed, so I just forced it out of the guide and pulled the assembly out

then it goes it really easy. just make sure to get the window in the guide

So it was the passenger sides turn

same thing, take all the rubber weather strip off and unbolt it
my passenger side has a torx bolt T-30, but no problems
then it happened, when I was pulling out the window, I noticed that if I just push the window back a little I could pivot the window assembly and it would all come out really easy

once the triangle part of the assembly is free, pull the whole thing straight up,
Then once you get to the little tab where the bolt goes in at the bottom, pivot the assembly forward



BAM, way easier than the first.

You can, youll just need the window glass, the vent window assembly and possibly the window regulator.

the black strip where the window guide rail is, always blocks my view of the mirror and is really frustrating.
if you are use to the full window, i think it would bother you even more so
Anyways, thanks guys, hope this helps out
