Its very very easy. IMO, I wouldn't use it as the sun damages the paint. I had it on my CLS for a couple of months and when I took it off to clean it, the shield's bottom rubbery trim ate into or worn into the clear coat and left a subtle mark.

You need a Phillips screwdriver on the top and a wrench or channel-locks to hold the nut on the inside.
Open the roof while doing this.

I agree take it off before it FAWKS UP the paint.
I had one on my 2001 and it did exactly that.
