It costs about 100-130 bucks. You need two ppl to do it. Remove your door panel and clean all the broken glass, you going to see all the brackets for the window, just put them where the holes are in the new window, adjust it and thats it. Its easy

did it in shop class once. Remove the door panel, and the plastic the covers the window. Take a shop vac and vaccum up the glass in there. Then unscrew the bolts on the top of the arm so you can install a new window into those screws. Then adjust the window frame either to half way, or fully up. Then carefully (with 2 or more people)Lower the glass into the frame. It should have predrilled holes in the glass, or it will be squeezed to geather by 2 metals plates. IM me if you need more info, but it costs about the same to do it your self in my area, as it does to have it professionally done.

GOOD LUCK ! emoji

Be careful because the windows are tempered glass and if you bump any of the edges on something metal, it will shatter into a million different pieces.

Installing door glass is a pain in the ass. I absolutely hate it. I've never installed one in my eclipse so I don't know what all is involved with it but I have installed one in about every other car and they are no fun. Good luck and just be careful that you don't bump the glass against anything. By the way, 97GoSlow, did you get that windshield installed on your civic?
