Call your local windshield replacement company for the windshield. Safelite?
Regarding the cracked gauge cluster thing, suggest you contact Ray Crowe at Nucar for new OEM parts. His email is in the FAQ thread stickied in this forum. Unless you want used parts - at which point post a Wanted to Buy ad in the forum marketplace.

All my local places could not source one, including Safelite. They show it on their site, but 2 weeks later called to cancel the appointment I had.
I found them in stock in OH at Kool Katz Auto Glass. I actually opted for the gray. Shipped in a few days via fed ex freight.

The meter hood is still available new from Mazda and is in stock in the US

It’s a shame no one seems to have OEM anymore.
Five or six years ago I had Safelite replace mine. They fit fine, but aren’t quite OEM quality…imo.
While you’re talking to Ray Crowe you might also see if he has the OEM windshield molding. I think they’re getting harder to find too. Sometimes they shrink and tend to stiffen with age and UV and re-fitment with the new glass can be iffy. They’ll try to sell you a new one that looks close to OEM, but like the glass, it’s not exact. Even though I had a new OEM molding as as back-up, I asked them to CAREFULLY remove the old OEM molding and reuse it. It took him a little time to get it re-fitted in the corners but so far, so good.
