Any tips on replacing a 240 windshield 200

I replaced mine with used. The windshield at the yard came out beautifully with piano wire, high f in 20 minutes.( golf tees worked well for prying pressure)

My existing windshield, which had been installed previously by a chain, had been installed not with butyl tape sealant, but with urethane. The wire would not cut into the urethane; it had set up like concrete. I worked for 4 or 5 hours to remove existing urethane and glass, an inch at a time with a chisel and hammer. A real mess, glass shards everywhere, in and out of the car, hair, (hat and glasses on), hands(gloves on) it was everywhere.

Prior installation = about 150.00 IFRC
DIY installation = windshield 35.00
2 x butyl tape 10.00
reused clips
4-5 hrs.
Good pluck.
