1999 Saab 9-5 back glass

Hello ... searched for threads but came up empty.
Anyone ever remove and replace the back glass (windshield)on a Saab 9-5? I came out this morning (25 degrees outside ... nothing out of the ordinary), started my car to warm up, came back after 8-10 minutes, and my rear glass was shattered with a big hole in the middle. I assume the rear defrost automatically kicked on and overheated the cold glass? Maybe I had a small crack and this shocked it to shatter?
Either way, I now have to replace the rear glass. So far estimates from glass shops are 600-800 range ... and I only paid about $850 for the car a year or so ago. A quick check of junkyards show rear glass available for $60-$80 range.
Am I dreaming or is this even possible for the DIY'er? As far as my insurance company, I only have liability insurance so they can't help me.
Thanks in advance for any help/feedback.
