Well, I came here looking for this answer a couple weeks ago... looked high and low on several sites with no luck. Turns out its not that hard, so since I just did it, I thought I'd share the answer.

It really is worth doing yourself...A quote from a autoglass shop was $206 installed...I got the replacement glass through a friend with a parts store connection for $33!

The first thing is to pull out the window seal and CAREFULLY clean out all the shards of broken glass left behind. Wear gloves...they are SHARP. Seat your new glass in the seal making sure its not stretching any one part. it should fit in nicely and without any tension.

Then you have to remove the set screw from the top of the bar that separates the vent window from the main door window. This can be accessed by pealing back the rubber door seal at the top from the inside. You will see a aluminum Phillips screw. BE CAREFUL, this is a CHEAP screw and wants to strip very easily...this was actually the hardest part of the replacement. It was frozen and started to strip. Make sure you are using a good sharp screwdriver that's the right size. Once it started to strip I put the screwdriver firmly into the screw and tapped the handle with another screwdriver handle to seat it solidly and that impact seamed to unfreeze the screw as well.

Once you remove that screw, with the door window rolled down you have some play to move the top of that bar over just enough to replace the vent window and seal assembly. you will have to CAREFULLY peal back the seal to the main door window. There is some tacky adhesive holding it in place, but its pulls out easily.

Start with the curved section and top, seating them into the groove of the door. The bottom part of the seal has a large tab that will want to hang up on the door at the bottom, carefully push this in with a large dull flat head screwdriver...try not to nick the paint, but even if you do its covered by the seal.

Once the bottom is seated, line up the flat edge into the groove in the bar and push the bar full back into position and replace the main window seal. Rolling up the window at this point helps. Make sure everything is aligned as it should be, there is a little play, so you and push and prod as needed to get everything sitting right...in particular the point at the top and bottom where the vent seal meets the main window seal Replace the screw at the top and you are all set!

All told it took about 30 minutes.
