91 hatch is bonded in, you will most probly need new outer trims or clips because they will break on removal, Ive done a few, I work for a Windscreen company, Personally i think it isnt a DIY job, after all, the windsheild is part of the cars structure!

Damn, I had a 91 Hatch glad I decided not to replace the glass before I got rid of it. I have a 95 Del Slo, know if it is the same way?

Couple people I have known have done their own. Mixed results.

My uncle owns a glass company, so I have never had to mess around with that ----. Cost of glass, and free install. Can't beat it with a stick.

Comes down to skill level imo. It totally doable just comes down to get the right materials and prep work
