Aarrgh! A rock to the windshield!!
I guess I forgot to turn on the "force field" - a semi sent me a little present to the center lower and the 4 legs of the crack spread out quick!
The question though, are the "finishers" a structural necessity to work with the urethane or are they a "looks" thing? Any "less expensive" options for windshield replacement? Russ

On a humorous note, I watched a Youtube clip of what looked like a glass shop replacing the windshield and really struggling (I was watching without sound here at work). He had removed the hood for the job, and I cringed when he stood up on the plenum to wrestle with the finisher, but the real kicker was the end where he took out a hatchet and started attacking the glass to get it to break to remove it!

I bought a new windshield for my Disco, but haven't put it in yet. I'm waiting until I go to paint the roof. The glass wasn't that expensive though, like $120 for the glass only (several years ago). I bought it outright from an autoglass shop, partly because I've seen (and been a victim) of some very crappy auto glass installation jobs, and installing glass usually is pretty straight forward (I used to work at a bodyshop and we installed glass all the time). When I bought the new glass, I went with a non-shaded windshield across the top because the Disco 1 windshields sit SO low, the current shaded part is always in my line of view, which sort of sucks. Ya might have to buy a new gasket, which isn't cheap.
