He probably removed the window.  It isn't that hard to
do.  I helped the guy remove mine, and he didn't
charge any extra.

Apparently the main problems with the cabinet is
getting the window clean enough in the prep, then
squeeging out the bubbles.  Not really enough room to
do either with the window in.  It probably added 15min
to the time to take the window out and tint it.
