Since im new at this plz tell me if im doing this write, and if i could get help or tips that would be much appreciated.

    :Welcome:from Florida, If it was me I would go to your local glass shop and just Buy a new windshield. I would replace the gasket at the same time. Here in Florida the cost is less than $400.00 . It's hard to find a used one that is real clear most will be milky around the edges.

    Agreed. try "Safelite". First you need the window gasket or inform them that it requires it so they can provide it or have you get it. Try "Auto Krafters" for gaskets and parts...

    I see you are located in Ohio. Not sure where in Ohio you are....but I am just across the border in central Indiana and I have lots of parts. Email me directly (see below) if I can help.
