I'm gonna have to not comment on the whole lube thing...
How easy is it too clean off the bedroom fluids?

I think it's safe to say no cutting is required but may be the easy button
used to do AC VW's regularly.
Taking the old one out was easy.
Looks like no cutting required. You should be able to pull the lockstrip out of the groove in the rubber, then pop the windshield out. I'd get a new lockstrip and seal for it, take your time and it's totally DIYable. Lots easier on a nice sunny day and with the proper tool to reinstall the lockstrip.
If you have never done it before, you will want a new rubber seal if you are going to do it yourself. The only advantage to paying someone is that if they break the windshield they might help you cover part of a new one, if you bought it through them and there are more available. Otherwise the will make you sign something before they start saying they aren't responsible for the glass.
Odds are even if you pay the guy who has done a thousand windshields this year it will be his first rubber gasket one anyway.
I'm on my own for supplying the window.
I think I'm set on trying it myself, it'll be an all day thing with lots of water and patience.
had a new windshield installed in my 76 ford quadravan and the idiot reinstalled the trim by hammering it in place. Moron.
In reply to plance1:
Taking a hammer to glass seems reasonable to me
I was doing a Type 2 windshield. All in but the lower right corner. Another tech decided to help and gave it a healthy push. OOPs.
