It's (in my mind) extremely easy to install. The kit is sold to be a do it yourself. Why is it that you "can't"? Is it that you don't have the skill, gear, or location, can't afford the down time, or were under the impression that you wouldn't be allowed? I was of the impression there were multiple certified bostig installers, other than just the Tec Shop in Washington. Perhaps i'm wrong? Any mechanic should be capable of it. Yourself included. -Craig '85GL Converted to bostig Harvested for organs Installed in my '87 Sunroof Syncro '90GL On Mon, May 28, 2012 at 2:29 PM, Jon Durham <jon_durham@knology.net> wrote: > I've decided to have someone install a Bostig in my 85 Vanagon.
