Default I need a new windshield

Thanks to Jersey roads and F**ked up people, the windshield in my vette caught something from another vehicle.
I have installed and removed a few windshields before, but are the any tricks or problems with doing this in a C5?
Does anyone have one or know a good place to get one?
thanks
Jason

Do you have HUD? If yes, it is a very expensive piece of glass.

I would check with your insurance company. In Florida, if you have a cracked windshield and have only very basic insurance, the insurance company will pay for a new windshield and installation of the windshield. After wanting a rock to hit the windshield of my 93 C4 for 5 years, a week after getting my Z06, I got hit by a small rock that chipped the windshield. I am not going to bother having it replaced right now, but if it starts to spider, I will.
