Well, I've never actually pulled the side windows, but as far ar I can
tell it looks about the same as a windshield. I would probably rate it
s 4, but then I guessed that putting in new wing window assemblies
would be a 2 and it turned out to be about a 5. I also thought
changing the 2nd gear brake band seal on my transmission would be a 5,
and it turned out (for me) to be at least an 11 (broke it!).  So using
my tendency to underestimate as a guide, it's probably about a 9. If
it was ME doing it, I'd probably end up ruining the rubber seal on the
first one before I figured out how to get 'em back in properly. Surely
there's someone here who's actually pulled a side window, no? Anyone?
