How hard would it be to install a hatch yourself.
I got the seibon hatch and wanna know if it would be easy or too difficult to do it yourself?

Need advices from people who has or done it themselves

thanks

 

id say hard.
installing a hood is hard enough alone.

im not saying its impossible.
but when i installed my honda hood i had 2 friends help. 1 person holding per side and the third to put the screws in.

i wouldnt risk doing it alone.
not worth messing up a brand new expensive part.

 

Unless you have mystical holders thatll hold the hatch up, then very difficult.

 

i got the vis hatch and i say you just get it installed through a shop because the glass part it self ain't gonna be fun.

btw when you get it installed post up the fitment i am curious how they come out

 

Umm pretty hard and impossible without a way to seal the glass to c.f. You have to connect the de-fogging/electronic handle wires through the side pillars of the hatch and also and mine wasn't grounded correctly at first. I say its too expensive a piece to try yourself, go get a quote man, better than the stuff I went through

 

i had about 3-4 people help me install the hatch, then had a glass company do the glass for me

 

i dont think he meant completely by himself
just not having a shop do it

 

^^ thats what I kinda figured too haha

 

a shop did the glass on my hatch. i installed it with one other person.

not too difficult. just a pain.

 

good to know

 

yeah just make sure you got a couple people to help you everything is harnesses so its just unplugging and getting all the wire clips off the hatch and once you get it off its like $80 to have a place come to your house or wherever you do it and switch it over for you. at least where i live.

 

Yea i will have two of my friends help me
and i got a mobile window guy said he would charge me 100.00 to cut out the glass and transfer.
and probably go to napa and get those gas shocks so it will close with no crack
