My 'new' 2000 has a cracked windshield. It would be cool if I can do a transplant, but doubt it's going to work out unless someone knows a magic trick or two that will help out.
Any tips?

That one if I am not mistaken is relatively cheap to get it done at the windshield repair shop (not sure <$100?). They tear off the rubber boot (you need to buy additional) and slice the sealant around the glass with a thin fishing-line like (one guy in the car, other outside both guys in sync). Takes 20min to do the swap if using the same technique (I've seen)
Cant remember seeing good dyi sorry
