Does anybody in here fit windscreens or know of where i can get them fitted to my car. I rang O'briens and got quoted $326 for them to come and fit front and rear. I would do it myself but i cracked the rear screen last time i tried. 
cheers
will

Depends on how they're held in place, do you have a rubber seal or mastic to seal them with?

rubber seals are easy:
1: Install the seal onto your freshly cleaned, or new windscreen
2: Run a bead of butyl mastic/windscreen sealer around the steel locking channel, and the glass locking channel.
3: Insert a rubber coated rope into the steel channel, with the two ends meeting at the middle on the bottom.
4: Lay the unit on the window frame, and get a mate to apply gentle pressure to the middle of the bottom of the windscreen.
5: Start easy the rope out - this will pull the rubber moulding out and over the window frame, with the mastic sealing the screen as you go. If you cannot pull the rope out easily, tell your mate to stop pushing so hard!
6: Work your way along the bottom with your mate following with pressure as to where you work.
7: As you get to the corners which become tighter, pull the rope in small circles to ease it out, around the corners - again, mild pressure from the exterior will send the screen home into position.
8: Continue this process all the way along until the screen is in and settled, then clean up the excess windscreen sealer.
