Window replacement and trim

[jsdoyle]

I have a couple scratches and a rock impact in my windshield. It has a new rubber gasket and I want to replace it. I have a couple options and have some questions.

First, I have new insurance with Haggerty and my policy requires them to pay for a windshield replacement by law in Kentucky. I hate to hit them up for it though since I have only had the policy for a month.

Second, there's a 65 in the scrap yard that I've taken some parts off of and it has a good windshield in it. I can probably score it for about 25-30 bucks. I could remove it and then swap it out for my windshield using the existing gasket.

What would you guys recommend? Me hitting up the insurance company or doing it myself?

One last thing, my window has the chrome trim around it. How easy is that to remove and what would be the easiest method. Is it just pushed into the gasket and as simple as using a screwdriver to pry it out?

Thanks!
