Default Back Window Replacement

I hate thiefs!!! Some *** just broke into my car while it was parked at the lake overnight. They took everything but my son's carseat. Then to top it off, they broke the back window out and climbed in over the trunk. What dumbasses!!! Now I need to replace the frickin window before it starts to rain. Now for my question, is it easy to replace the back window or is it worth the money to have a shop do it? Also, if it is easy, how do I do it?

It isn't hard, but you wanna make sure it's done right. So take it to a shop.

As much as I respect your guy's opinion, I decided to try it myself. It was going to be $280 to $360 to have a shop do it. I did it all myself for $150 and that was after I bought the guy lunch and filled his truck up with gas when he took me to the autowreckers. The window was already tinted and that saved me another $45. I only paid $60 for the window and $12 for the glue, the gasket was about $20. It was really easy and I don't have a single leak. I know that you guys could fix it no problem. Oh yeah, the only tools I used was a paint scraper and a razor blade.
