Thanks everyone for the input. I would do it myself, but I figured I would probably break something when reinstalling and didn't want to risk it. I didn't ask about the sealer that you mention. I did hear that too and didn't know if that was an industry standard, or something I needed to make a point to tell them. -p On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 3:43 PM, John Rodgers <inua@charter.net> wrote: > There is ALWAYS the risk of breakage - it's a matter of how big the risk. > A competent shop can probably get it done without breaking - but the RISK of > breaking is there - so be prepared financially to replace the lass if it > does.
