I think a pain to remove and replace, I vote cut in place, like I did the slideout window on my 2017 179.

LOL.. "campground head"... I walk past those and just laugh and laugh..

We did ours with the door on. EasyPeasy. The biggest tip is to have a shop vac handy, preferably with a helper running it while you cut.. there will be styrofoam bits everywhere.

Do you hire this to remove or replace the new one?

I removed the door and placed it on saw horses. hat worked perfectly. Put tape on both sides of the door  where it will be cut. Measure twice, cut once.
Good luck
