Easy install. I did it myself and I am sure it wouldn't take more than 30 or 45 minutes for a mechanic.

I installed it myself but I am sure it would be a few hundred for a shop to do it. The door panel needs to be removed and it takes time

I did it myself., It really doesn't take that much effort/science. If you hire someone, you shouldn't pay more than $20-30 tops for this job. Hope this info works.

45$ to get it painted to match my car's color and another 50$ to fix it. Went to Maaco.

i put the mirror on myself. i watch a youtube video before hand and it was very easy.

Volkswagens requires a majority of the door to be taken apart in order to install the mirror. My mechanic charged 75, plus another 60 to paint and clearcoat it. Volkswagen paint is extremely expensive, so unfortunately it's a little bit costly. It was substantially cheaper than taking the mirror to a body shop, which would have charged 200 just to paint it.

I actually did it myself with simple tools. It was a pretty easy job. YouTube has several good videos that are easy to follow. Hope this helps.

I think I paid between $40-60. I would call a local shop or two and ask. Shouldn't be an expensive repair.

Yes you do. I probably could have done it myself, but chose to take it to a bike shop where they charged me $100.00. I'm sure it was all labor. So, if you are handy with tools, do it yourself.

There's instructions on Installing it, however I would advise you to get a mechanic to install it. My husband is a mechanic so he installed it, But he still had a lot of trouble with it because the directions are not very good.

Hi, I apologize but we are not professional installers. Please consult with a mechanic. Thank you!!

I actually had someone do it for me, but it seemed very easy. It took him about 10 to 15 minutes. The hardest part seemed to take off the middle of the steering wheel. I know I could have done it myself but just included it in the other things I had to have fixed.

I'm sure it did come with instructions, but I hired a professional with a car lift to do the job. It's not really rocket science, but there's just some headaches I've learned are better off in someone else's head than mine. And this would be one such headache, along with front end alignments, exhaust work, and error code diagnosis. I'd hate to attempt such a job off jackstands!!

I'm not clear on your question. I only know that my mechanic had zero problems with installing it.

Check out trailvoy.com it's an awesome tech board I bet someone there knows the answer. This part is really easy to install. Did it in less than 30 min.

I honestly don't know, we installed it ourselves and it only took about an hour. My dad was a plumber and I learned from him and my hubby is a whiz at the electrical side of it. Honestly if I had to hire a plumber and electrician to do the job I would not have gotten the unit. I know someone who is having one installed in a new home and was quoted $800!

We called several types of professionals (electricians, appliance repair, handyman, etc) and couldn't get anyone to install it. We were replacing one a handyman put in about 10+ prior so we just did it ourselves. It was not too hard as we had the prior one to model the install/wiring after. I don't think we could have done it if it was a new install.

We took ours into a professional for installation. It will cost about $100-$150 more but is worth it. You would have to do the same even if you purchased this from a dealer. Hope this helps.

You will need to take it to a dealership. It cost $45 at the local shop I went to and they had it done it about 5 minutes.

Sorry, can't help you. I had the dealer install mine. They were running a special last year, $199.00 installed. So I'm assuming it's pretty easy to install.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a repair man, I just would not know. However, When I looked at the cost of calling a repairman, paying for his time to come out to check out my dryer, paying his price for ordered parts, and then paying him his time to install them, I figured I could easily be charged $200.-$300.00 or more to get it done. So I went on youtube and watched the videos pertaining to my model dryer as to how to take apart my dryer and fix it. I then found the parts online at a much lower price and some with free shipping. I wasn't sure which sensor was giving me trouble so I replaced 5 of them along with a new heating element. I spent about $76.00 and my machine runs perfectly.

John, I made an error in the dealership program price I quoted you in my previous response. The dealer price is $200.00 installed. Still a good price compared to buying part retail and paying for install. Can always do it yourself but dealer does warranty their work. Sorry for the confusion!

Well I asked one of my friends who has an Auto mechanic shop to do it for me. I guess he had to buy some kind of adaptor to install it.

That's really too much! You can buy it here and install in body shop, don't install by yourself if you're not professional. Body shop didn't even charge me for labor, it only took few minutes to install.
