How hard is it to pull a windshield intact from a 94?

My 96 gust got hammered by a stone and probably has between a couple days to a week before the crack goes fron top to bottom.

I have a parts 94 with a good one.

Is this more work than it's worth?

tricky like drinking a beer and balancing a bowl of pretzels on your knee tricky or tricky like spending three years drunk in Thailand and not getting VD tricky?

There is a knife like tool used to cut them out. Not tricky at all.

The trick is salvaging the gasket from the old one and sticking it on the new one. Personally, I'd recommend using a new gasket if you can.

On the install, prep the area well, and use Butyl Rubber sealant to install it.

Is the gasket readily available? (I would guess yes)
