[DMCForum] Cracked Windshield

Well, I am finally getting around to replacing my cracked windshield.
Like everything I have done on #17084 I double-check everything to
make sure I am doing it right.
Here is a pic of the cracked windshield

I will bring it to a local shop that had a look at the manual and the
car. They said there should be no problem. I plan on ordering the
rear view mirror pad along with a couple of new spacers (at the
bottom of the glass).
The crack has been there couple of years. It looks like the spacer at
the bottom is the problem but I have been told otherwise. When I
first inquired about replacing the windshield, someone said the
passenger side post has some kind of recess or channel in it.
Apparently this area can be very tight and now allow expansion of the
glass so it cracks at the fulcrum (the spacer). Does this sound
familiar to anyone? If so is there a good way to repair it while the
windshield is out?
I tried searching both archives and can't find my original post or
anything else mentioning this.
I plan on taking pics of the procedure and will post them.

P.S.
Anything I should be doing while the windshield is out?
