Who has replaced their own windshield? I could save lots o' cash doing it myself.
I have a small crack starting in one my f-body windscreens.
Glass places stay an additional moulding piece is required and can't be reused.
can it be done w/o?

Harrs auto glass here in Columbus, OH did the 3 windshields in my 2000 GTI VR6 (retail, $1450 each, insurance company cost was $700+). They did outstanding until the last time when they put the wrong glass in the car (mine had rain sensing wipers and took special glass). Then VW and the glass company fought over it until my insurance company called the glass company and things suddenly got done. And, the final windshield was the correct one and the wipers worked again. I still recommend them, I think the glass was mismarked or they just installed the wrong one, but they did beautiful work every time (even picked the car up and dropped it off at my office). So, it's not a dead industry, but those guys are rare.
