Keep me in mind that the 9K has a glue-in style windshield. This type of set-up actually allows the windshield to be part of the structural intergrity of the passenger compartment. The airbag system also requires that the windshield behave in a certain fashion in the event of a crash. All of this requires that a special urethane-based adhesive be used and from what I was told, this stuff is not widely available outside the windshield repair industry.
I wouldn't mess with it. Allow a reputable repair outfit do it for you and have the comfort that the glass won't come out if you slam two doors shut at the same time, if you have the bags go off or you decide to be ejected through the windshield thanks to that little old lady in the SUV that you just hit.
