Before you get your windshield, check your A post trims for warping. They're 
the plastic channels framing in the windshield on either side of the inside. 
These can distort over time from sun and heat. Part of them extends UNDER 
the windshield, so the only proper way to install them is with the windshield 
out. Taking out a good windshield risks breaking it. So now, if you're 
replacing your windshield, is your best chance if you need to do the A post 
trims too.
A post trims can be replaced without removing the windshield if the flap is 
trimmed, but they don't look quite as nice and tight.
