I’m in Wollongong near Fairy Meadow, a few blocks from the beach. Salt spray and spring gusts have been rough on the ute, and the screen picked up a long crack after a pellet of road debris on Memorial Drive. I have decent tools and a carport, but I’ve never tried glasswork. Friends say it’s just “cut, lift, seal,” but I’m worried about alignment, rust on the pinch weld, and accidentally trapping moisture that leads to leaks. With the southerly changes rolling through and showers most afternoons, is a weekend DIY even realistic? Or is this one of those jobs where a tiny mistake means fogging, wind noise, or worse—airbag issues?
