Considering the difficulty in getting replacement windshields, having a auto glass service do it might be worth it. If I recall, I think it was around $30 to have then remove and reinstall a windshield. And the two were done at different times; one price to do both procedures but scheduled separately. Just make sure they are liable if it breaks in the process, and they guarantee the install wouldn't leak. Cheap insurance I think.An alternative is to get one of the windshield replacement folks to come by. They have the new knives that cut right through.

I've heard it is expensive to live in NY. Didn't realize to what extent.In NY, they wouldn't even look at it for that price.
Don't discard or destroy the old one until you know you can get your hands on another one.Is the glass that hard to come by? I have taken all my glass out but the windshield is discolored in a few spots on the edge. The discoloration is in the glass. Obviously I wanted to replace it.
