If this is your one and only attempt, I'd say let the "pros" do it. The rear glass is scary to me because it seems very thin and curved. The second one I did was a breeze. They get easier every time (knocks wood).

If you do decide to do it, be sure to take the opportunity to stretch the gasket as evenly as possible around the glass as you go. Go back and pull more and tape it every few inched with duct tape. It gets frightening when you get to the final corner and you have to stretch and pull the gasket over the corner to finish. Start out with a warm gasket that has been allowed to assume the shape of the glass. And , of course read the manual and anything pertinent here.
