You can do it with help and some installer tools - like all windshields they have to be seated and sealed right.

These are big, heavy windshields, very easy to create leak points during install. I decided to have mine professionally installed, and watching them so it made me glad it wasn't me, and glad that if there was a leak they would have to fix it.

Gasket can be used again if it cleans up well and is uncracked/still pliable. Mine was usable, actually in surprisingly good shape, all the sealer and silicone came off.
