Order one from FFR and install it yourself. I've done two of them and it's no big deal. Any auto glass business should have the insulation / vibration black tape that you'll want, yes, install a new one. If the origional one is a few years old the sun and heat will have deterated it. (sic) I have installed a new windshield with the frame on the car and also with the frame off the car. Don't be afraid of handeling the glass, that is what it is, simply a large piece of glass and it isn't going to fall apart in your hands. As all of the other guys have said, be carefull installing of the side screws, get a feel for their tightness when you take the old ones out. The sunvisor and wind wings should not be a problem. If you choose not to do it yourself then have someone who has done them before do it. Don't have a local guy with no experience try to do it. He doesn't have the care and love and fear that you will have when you do it yourself. Good luck, again, it's no bigge.
