Windshield, aluminum vs steel

I"m looking at my windshield and contemplating just buying a new one instead of risking the original one will reassemble with the new glass.

I'm reading in Brattons and Snyders of a steel frame and an aluminum frame version. Does anyone have experience with using the aluminum frame as a replacement? The difference in price is certainly attractive compared to the steel frame.

What's wrong with the old one?

Not sure if the original is able to withstand disassembly and reassembly. Most likely never spent a night indoors and it lived in an area with 50-60 inches of annual rainfall.

Give it a shot. Nothing much to loose I would think.
