doh... just cracked my windscreen...
Just called o'briens and they want $450 to fit a new one... A tad expensive!
I see online that replacement windscreen from SuziStore is around $160 + postage....
how hard is it to pop in a new one? from what I can see it doesn't look like they are glued in like newer vehicles.
or does any one know any cheaper and reliable windscreen replacement joints?

What vehicle?
My 98 coily Sierra windscreen 3 months ago was $310 from Novus in Brisbane. O'Brien quoted $330, although they include a free chip repair for 12 months.

I just bought a whole windscreen surround/targa bar with a perfect windscreen for $120 off ebay  swapped the whole surround over, instant fix
EDIT: This works provided you have a softop  If you have a hardtop, tough luck
