i did the install myself... and i am not mechanically inclined (never done oil change).. but i have installed audio and change wheels - that gave you a good idea what kinda guy i am!??!

did mine in 1 afternoon... easy i would say.. the instruction from H and A is simple enough for it...

i would say do it yourself first... if that didn't go too well... pay the 360...

I installed mine myself- it was very easy. The best way to check gaps(IMO) is to try fitting your fingers between the car and the hardtop(after it has been latched). I had a very hard time with getting consistent measurements with a tape measure, but no trouble at all by using the thickness of my fingers as a guide.

Yup! You can adjust it out but for me, it's a convertible sports car and it's just not worth the time to do it.
