It really is not that hard of a job.  Pull the passengers side rear
quarter window,  peal the headliner away from the window frame part of 
the car, lower the headliner, drill and mount as the
directions with the antenna instuct, run the wire down the passenger side
B-pillar and under the carpet to the front, and reassemble.

I just follwed the directions that came with my antenna, used the sealant
stuff that came with it, and I've had -zero- leakage.  

Just be patient, read the instructions, measure and mark where to drill
carefully, and enjoy the experience.   That or you could pay a shop way
too much to do it who most likely is not any  more competent than you. I
had a friend who paid someone to do it and the fool managed to put a hole
in the A-pillar running the wire...

Good luck!
