The inevitable happened to me today, took the dsm out for a test run and the hood flew up while I got on the highway
I've been having to slam it shut lately after an ice storm caused me to tap into a pole (FWD problems..) and slightly misaligned my hood, guess I didn't slam it enough!
There is a local pick-n-pull junkyard that has a 1ga talon, with the front end intact. I'm needing a new hood and winder at the least, but if the body parts look okay I'm going to go ahead and do a 1ga front end swap.
I have no experience with windshield replacement, but I'd like to save myself the expense of getting a new windshield installed.
Is there any differences between 1ga/b windshields? Or is it not suitable to replace the broken windshield with a used one?
