Dealer charged me 4.5 hours labor to do it. I told them that's the last they'd see of me.

The second one will go even quicker.

I haven't looked at the sticky, but I'll just throw in my $0.02 worth...If it's a coupe, pull the roof, a 'vert, put the top down. Either one, push the steering wheel in and up as far as it will go, for a little extra "wiggle room".....
