havent done one in a 4th gen, but done a bunch in trucks and 3rd gens. cant see why it would be any different. anad its not like your gonna break it. lol
why not just install it yourself? all you need is the black primer stuff and urethane. glass install shops will prob sell you that without any hassles.
clean the metal, put primer around the window frame where the urethane will come in contact with it and then cut the nozzle on the tube with a V up the side about a half inch. then just go around the frame and then pop the window in. tape in on so that if the car has to move, it doesnt shift the window.
there is little rubber blocks, or tabs that scre on under the window to keep it from dropping, dont forget those either.
good luck.
cause i am in canada, so i have no idea where there are any install shops down south. lol

i have done a bunch, but you are probably right about harder than it looks. the ones i did might not have been done right but in such a case as a lexan window, i dont think its gotta be perfect.
i do know that when your a kid and broke, tub and tile silicone will work fine. someone smashed the back window out of my old malibu and i just cut a piece of plexi and siliconed it in. lasted till i junked the car. lol
so as long as its not installed like ^^THIS^^ you should be fine. hahaha
dont laugh, with enough silicone it became waterproof. lol
