Is this easy to install yourself or should it be professionally installed?

It's very easy to install. I'm a mechanic so I deal with cars all day long. If you have some time to kill and normal tools like 8mm or 10mm deep socket, ratchet and extension and a screw driver to pop off the back panel you should have no problem at getting it done yourself. If you don't feel confident just bring it to your local garage and I'm sure they will have no problem doing it for you. Hope this helps.

It wasn't difficult. If you have a set of socket wrenches and a screw driver, it will take you about 30 minutes max to complete. You must be carfule not to snap the plastic clamps that hold the trunk liner to the actual trunk though. The electrical connection is as easy as plugging in a wall lamp.

Very simple install. Know in advance that if your Dart has the trunk lid liner it will need to be removed, just be careful not to break any of the plastic snap in liner retainers. After the liner removal simply remove the fasteners holding the old trunk light non-lighting Race Track trim, disconnect the electrical connector and install your new Race Track lighting in reverse order. Connect electrical connector, fasten Race Track to trunk lid, reinstall your trunk lid liner and enjoy the new awesome look! You might even be able to sell your old trunk trim on Amazon or eBay!

It's really easy to do. All you need is a couple tools and it simply plugs in where the other one does. You do have to take the liner of the trunk lid, but that's about it. It is easy.

I installed this by myself with no special tools. It was super easy and took ten minutes. You should have no problems. Btw this is a really good pet guard. Keeps our 80 lb lad at bay. It good and sturdy. I have it in our 2011 outback.

Yes, if you need warranty service, you will need to have a qualified serviceman do both the install, and repair. That has been my experience...I guess they don't want DIYers tackling installing this. It takes about 20 minutes to install yourself!

Do you plan on doing the installation yourself? I would be tempted to let a pro do it.

Professional installation is not necessary. I just reinstalled the system last week after buying new tires. Instructions are relatively simple.

I wouldn't say that it requires professional installation. I did mine. It is not that difficult but if you haven't done much to bow before I might consult a pro.

This is an easy self install, took me about an hour in my driveway. Not sure dealer would do the job, they usually push their aftermarket line. All I used was a wrench and drill. Could have used a round file I suppose. I enlarged the slot in the mounting bracket so I could use the mounting bolts that came installed on the boards as opposed to replacing them as the shipper intended. Worked great with minimum fuss. I'm sure any mechanic or body shop could do the job if you happen to be all thumbs or otherwise mechanically (spelling?) challenged.

Yes, it works very good you can install it yourself or have someone do it for you. I did it myself while looking at a "how to do it video" on you tube. Invest in the tools it will make it easier.

I dont know about professionally installation however if is very easy to do if one is inclined to be sort of a do it yourselfer. Really easy. Just takes a little thinking. Cable can run along the frame and come into the interior through one of the rubber plugs in the body.

Yes it is easy to install. You'll need at least a pair of pliers. A small crescent wrench is even better. Good directions with the product. Good luck.

You need to improvise your own installation. How can the manufacturer anticipate all of the installation variations? If you can't figure it out, hire someone to do the installation for you.
