Default replacing your own windshield

I was thinking of replacing my windshield with a one found at the junk yard

using the harbor freight tool that they have.
actually they have 2 of them I was gonna go with a cheaper one.

anyone that already attempted their own windshield replacement I would like to head your experience and maybe something that would be "good to know"

its for a del sol

i helped a friend replace his windshield on his old ek coupe. honestly it only took a few hours but was a slight pain in the ***. the biggest problem i remember having was the damn windshield epoxy is thick and was ridiculously annoying to manually squeeze out of the tube. id look for some kind of electric or pneumatic gun if possible so u dont have to squeeze your hands to death. besides that it worked well, the thing never leaked
