The dealer is really expensive, especially for windsheilds.

You can do it yourself really, it is relatively simple.

There is a tool that looks like a handle, with a 90 degree razor on the end that you cut the glue that holds your windsheild in place.. it costs about $15 or so.

They you just trash your windshield, get the new one, get a tube or 2 of the windshield goop and drop your windshield in.

You can find a new windsheild, depending on where you live for about $150-$200.. I paid $138 for mine on a wholesale purchase.

Or, you can have someone else do it for about $350

Don't buy used unless it is close to you. Shipping a windshield is pricey
