Why not put a 'wanted' advert on the site, or try 'billy739' who often advertises stuff on the site, he might be able to help you.

Re: new windscreen
any windscreen company (auto glass etc) should have them and be able to supply and fit, or just give you the screen if you're fitting it yourself.
i would recommend checking around for prices though - local guys can be a lot cheaper.
also check whether a seal is included - some companies only supply the glass when fitting.
hope this helps

Re: new windscreen
Do you not have it on your insurance then? Obviously it must be broken for them to replace it which i take it yours is.

A lot more competent, too - IME.
If it's an insurance job, you don't HAVE to use the "big boys" that your insurer will push you towards - you might have to pay up front then be reimbursed, rather than the insurer be billed for all bar any excess, though.

Re: new windscreen
Providing its a genuine seal, its a one man job changing windscreen. Make the mistake of buying a JK seal and you'll not only need two or more people, you'll be fighting with it getting it back. You'll also be reminded for years afterwards as the JK ones don't look right. They bulge out.
While its out (if not done yet), do any repairs needed to windscreen surround. Its in the WIKI under footwell leaks:
