Default 2000 Caravan windshield replacement - DIY?

My Caravan needs a new windshield. I have tools and a 1996 parts car. But I'm old, and I like the prospect of crystal clear glass that I will get from buying one new.
Is this practical for a DIY job? This post is my first exploration - I have not priced the parts or gotten a quote for installed.
  • I need a sticker and I don't have glass insurance.
  • I've replaced both front struts and axles. I used a lift at a local shop, and needed help popping one of the axles out.
  • I don't think I have any suction cup handles, but I can borrow them.
  • I would plan on using a new seals and/or gaskets.

Thanks!

This will give you an idea of what's involved so you can decide if you want to tackle the job yourself.

Thank you. I have an appointment at J N Phillips glass shop tomorrow for $203. Had I been more patient, I would have waited until I called before posting here. '
Thanks

Let the glass people do it. If it leaks, it's on them..
