I did mine last year. It is rather easy but a couple of tips. First, place a box or something underneath the door when you remove the door panel to get to the outer window seal. This will prevent the door panel from dropping to the ground and disconnecting all of the electricals. If you don't have to re-connect all of the switches in the door panel, the job will go much faster. Second, be very careful when you drill out the rivets on the old window seals, your fiberglass door is just behind those rivets. It took me about an hour to an hour and a half per door and I am a rank ameteur.

I had mine replaced. I bought them at a local Chevy dealer.. very resonable as to price, compared to the catalogs..
