Windshield Replacement?

ok i have the 91 firebird. And the Front Windshield is cracked to s.hit, and i can get a used window from a scrap yard for like $30-$50. But ive never replaced a windshield b4, so what are the steps on how to do it?
will i need anything else besides the windshield, new weather striping, liquid sealent, scalpal?

it's easy. take the rubber seal off. make sure not to tear it unless you're gong to buy a new one. be carful not to shatter the winshield when taking it out. you don't want to have to clean that mess upp. clean all the old sealer off the frame. you can pick up new sealer at any autoparts or paint store. there will be little screws in the frame so that you can adjust the way the new glass sits so that you can make it sit even. instalation is the reverse of taking the old one out. it's very easy. I did my first one without knowing what I was doing.
