broken windsield

[lunarhighway]

my girlfied just texted me her car has a crack in the windshield, she doesn't know how it happened, but it's parked in a public space under some trees and it's been quite cold recently, but i have yet to see the damage. she drives a ford fiesta mk4.

she said its about a 10 cm long crack... since we have annual tech inspection and this sort of thing won't pass, we need to have it replaced.

since the fiesta mk4 is quite common and it shares many components with the earlyer and the next version i might be able to find a decent second hand windshield, but what happenes next? where could i find info on replaceing windshields in general and preferably on this car?

any help is appreaciated
