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?

(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

Did you have problems knowing when/how to turn on the wipers yourself? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

I could never tell when it was raining.....

Actually, every car should have them. When you came to a stop, they slowed down. When you took off and started getting spray, they sped up. If you forgot to turn them off, they just "parked" (they didn't stay up on the glass like ours) and if you hit a puddle, they'd swipe right away. It was a great system, something we could all use, it really was.
