3 people for sure, especially if you have the trim! I had a local glass company in to do mine. One guy "knew it all" and the other was green with respect to our trucks. It took them 5 hours total to do the front and rear slider, all with the trim. And, they broke the first windshield and had to put in and take out the rear 4 times to get it close to right.

They started the rope pulls at the bottom, but I convinced them to start at the top for the rear glass as they were having trouble with the trim popping out at the top corners...that seemed to help, but the front glass was started at the bottom. The outside looks good, but the inside at the top corners has some gaps...starting at the top might of helped this...IDK.

They only charged me $216...they supplied the front glass and I supplied the rear slider, Precision gaskets, and OEM trim.
