Have a go at it yourself.
I did the one in my car with no previous experience.
Just take your time to do it properly and don't rush.
I spent five days doing mine, though did do the A and B pillars too.

Yup do it yourself... I have done 2, second one I made the lining too!

Get a big bag of cloths pegs so you can peg it to the door and window surrounds and adjust the tension until it is wrinkle free. then glue it before fitting door and window seals etc.

I fitted mine with no prior experience, i got tips from willy on here.

He suggested i fit it with all the rods and use bulldog clips to secure and align it. I spent about $5 on the clips and 3 hours getting it in place. Then i would remove a small section of the clips, apply contact grip and re clip it once the glue was tacky.

Like Harley said, take your time and don't glue it till you are happy with the overall position.
