My windshield is badly cracked and I'm curious if there is any reason not to use one of the windshield services in the area. I believe this will be covered by my insurance.

I really think that you could install the windshield yourself. I wrote some instructions in the tech tips 700 as if I were a layman installing one for the first time. Really not that hard. The guys were dead on about replacing the clips, getting 20, and using 1/4 inch butyl tape. Also look at the dash to windshield bead (best time to replace it) and touch up the cowl under the windshield if scuffed or rusted, and use the window weld primer so that the butyl tape will stick better.
