Taking them off is pretty easy. But you should have someone help with aligning them. Save any shims that were on either door for alignment purposes. Wiring the door for power windows, door locks, mirrors, etc. is a minor pain. Made simpler if you just cut the wires and resplice rather than trying to feed them through right. Good luck, Lon.

Just did it this past Friday. It's very easy but you need atleast 2 people to do it. Shouldn't take more then 30 mins. You may need to adjust the window, here's the tech article ohttps://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/windowadjust.shtmln how to do it:
