John,
When it came time for my 4 glass mount, I mounted the frame on a 2x4 and
took it, the glass, gasket and the chrome piece down to my local auto
glass shop. 2 hours later I had the unit completed and ready to remount
to the body. I did the same thing with the 6 years later. Cost will
depend on the hourly labor charge but worth it in my opinion.
My as well replace the lower gasket while the frame is off as well.
