Just letting off some anger..Yea so i was trying to look at some rust under the weather strip around my window with a screw driver.. and crack! the damn window breaks.. it was a flawless window and a new window will cost a couple hundred. Anyone know of a windshield place with some good prices?

No, just make sure to lay a heavy bead of urethane down if ur gonna install it urself, u can always clean the excess off easier than tryin to reseal it!!

I sandblasted it and it worked great!!!! I bought a little 5gallon sandblaster from harbor freight and went to town, theres nuthin to it!! It takes a while, but it does work, all u do is pull the trigger and make even passes all the way across the glass, back and forth, til ur piece hits the floor!!I used some tape, gaffers tape, used for sandblasting, to mark my line and protect the rest of the glass, also wrapped the part not to be cut with heavy mil plastic just ot be safe!!
