Default 2016 Windshild Swap
Went full on custom on my front window shield tonight. Researched and found the right part. Checked the forms for the right technics how to install it. Jacked it up on the lift and secured it, called my neighbor with the Dodge to check it, unhooked the battery (per the manual), drained the oil (again the ****'n manual). Got out the moving blankets and taped everything off (don't wanna scratch the paint) and removed the three screws holding it on. Went pretty good I think. I'll test ride it tomorrow as it'll take me all night to put all this **** away lol!!

If they are phillips screws, did you line up the screws? I hate seeing uneven screws.
