Default Cracked my windshield

I was out on a mountain run on Sunday and we just got started and a rock kicked up and cracked my windshield,luckily the body shop I work for also owns a glass co. so I decided to go home and take it out.
Now I can take a good look at the 3 hats to see about some CF.

There is alot of stuff you need to remove to get the windshield out wiper arms,cowl,Lt & Rt windshield pillar covers,strut bar,rear view mirror,

Sorry to hear about your windshield, I'm jealous you have the shop available to fix it so quickly! Do you know how to remove the A pillar interior panels? I want to wrap them in suede but I don't know how to take them off.

I took the windshield out myself,if you are talking about the interior covers by the windshield just pull on them and for those clips that are stubborn pop them off with a flat tip screw driver.

Yea, I think if you powder coated them black it would look nice.

Any idea what a new windshield is going to cost you?

Props for doing it yourself
