I too had 3 windshields crack within 10 months. After inspecting and ensuring that I had the correct scews and installed at the right depth I was greated the following morning with a cracked windshield right down the middle so I searched for an alternative.

Installation wasnt that bad and for me it was easier than the glass install maybe because I had hoped that this would be the last time I would have to do this.

After talking with the polyglass guy I came up with a list of installation procedures and taking your time and following them makes it in my opinion very easy just make sure that you take time to take measurements of the cracked glass you plan on replacing as it sits in your frame for the correct curviture, mask the windshield to protect it as the above poster has mentioned and if you do this along with getting the proper mechanics soap to lubricate your fingers which is what you use to create a nice smooth gasket around the windshield the installation will go without a hitch.

Now after several months no cracks the only issue was immediately the day after installing the windshield I was driving on the highway at about 75 miles an hour and a rock have gotten shot up from a tractor-trailer that was in my opinion far enough away unfortunately the rock shot off at a high velocity hit the windshield with the sound of a gunshot and I had to my chagrin a sinking feeling in my stomach thinking that this was definitely going to crack the windshield but somehow all I saw was a tiny little speck about half the size of a piece of rice.
