I'm about 99% sure they're all the same.
Why would Mazda produce a car that doesn't share something like that? Its expensive to have unique items in cars, so they keep them all the same as possible...

I would recommend just going to a windshileld shop. I went to one that was next to Picknpull and they only charged me $100 installed.
I've tried before this, getting those windshields out, and they crack very easy.

It's nearly impossible to remove a good windshield without cracking it. I was quoted $125 installed last year. They're not that expensive.

Well my brothers s10's windshield was kicked in and we did that well. My dad's a mechanic so he can help me out a lot. So were all pretty sure that they are universal?

Removing a broken windshield is easy. Removing a good windshield without turning it into a broken windshield is very hard. Thats my point.
Also I know that where I'm from it is illegal to change your own windshield. It has to be done by a certified glass shop because it's structural.

Lame.
I was thinking about putting in Lexan (I know it's illegal

). Do you think that the body would flex too much? How about with a B pillar bar? If so, how about with a B pillar bar connected to the strut towers (Right to Left, L to R, in an X)?
