Hey guys, how hard is it to replace the windshield on the SHO? Mine has
a huge crack running right across the middle on the passenger's side for
like half the width of the window, and it looks like it costs about $135
to get one and DIY vice about $250-$300 to get one installed. Looking at
that, the two words with initials "FT" come to mind, and T = 'that'. Is
the windshield the gasket type or the trim type? And would having a
broken wrist (doing push-ups, no less!) greatly hamper that process? I
have to have it done before the safety inspection and that's due in
may... anybody have any tips?
