I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. Took about 2 hours, no big hassle, except for getting the whole thing lined up with the quarterlights properly. That took another afternoon of intermittent

It would be for some. I pretty much did what you did, and I had to give in. Like I said, it took 3 pros at the glass shop 1 1/2 hours, so in my case it wasn't just technique.

I saw this posting on the mg list. I don't know if this could be applied to a spridget. It is worth a look and consideration. YMMV. My apologies to Lee for reproducing this without his permission. --
