It isn't! Make sure door panels are super clean, use masking tape to mark out where you're putting them (at the exact height shown in the instruction leaflet included). Warm the door panel with a hair dryer just before you and a friend put them on.

Use the Search function for more info, but it is as simple as that.

what SN said. make sure you measure well and it's a piece of cake. Full instructions are in the box.

Oh and also, make sure you don't have the up side down or the down side up!

Make sure you check and double check the measurements from the bottom of the door - I did, but I still think they are a bit low compared with others I have seen.
 I was taught to be cautious.

Good thing about these is that they'll fit anywhere on the door panel so you can be as individual as you like and as you'll never see both sides at the same time, they can be at different heights....
I did mine and I am useless at this sort of thing....
