Default broken windshield...need lightbar suggestions

So I've been driving with a cracked windshield for about 7 months now. I have glass coverage but i have a rugged ridge windshield mounted light bar and I'm wondering if anyone has had there windshield replaced after installing a light bar? I ask because i don't know if i trust anyone to do the job with the light bar in place or if it can be done at all with it still there? I don't want to go through the pita of removing all the wiring, lights, and Bar itself if i don't have to...any input is appreciated...thanks everyone!

I have the same bar and it could be done if you can unbolt the upper and lay it back on the top. Safe lite uses a wire to cut out the winshield which should not get in the way. The only issue is is getting the new windshield in place with out moving the urethane adhesive. I think with he upper bar out of the way you can slide the new windshield in place.

I understand your concern, you will have to stop and interview shops until you find someone you can trust to replace it. Let them know what you expect when the job is completed and if they think they can handle it.
