I just changed out the windshield on my SPF this past weekend. Getting it off the car is easy. Leave the pillars, just take the frame off. Getting the glass out of the frame is the hardest part. Take your time. Don't pull on the frame too hard. Clean it up good. I installed the Polyglass from Cobra Valley. Excellent product. The new windshield did not come with a rubber gasket so I used 2 x 29" bicycle innertubes stretched as tight as possible. Then I installed the unit into the frame, and trimmed the excess rubber all the way around. It was a nice tight fit in the frame - very secure. Screwed it all back together, and installed back into the car. Then I removed the protective coating and re-installed the rear view mirror with double sided tape.

Important Note - make sure that all screws go back into the exact holes that they came out of. Label them.
