My center piece of windshield is disconnected from the complete windshield. The hinged pin is broken off. Is there a replacement or solution to put this back together.

Can you take a pic and post what the hinges look like?

I went through the same issue....if yours look like mine I can tell you where to go (Taylor Made Systems) and the part number.

It appears that the pins have broken, the solution may be as simple as punching out the pins and replacing them.

That’s what I think too but pins are being really hard to get out so far

The pins probably corroded as did the insides of the hinges. In effect they may be 'welded' together. Try some penetrant (not WD40) and let it soak for a day or so, then repeat. That may or may not help but it can't hurt. You can try tapping the pins out but you need a drift pin as wide as you can find but still smaller than the diameter of the hinge pin. Drift pin tools are like nail sets but have flat bottoms. Using something without a flat bottom can cause the hinge pin to mushroom and get even tighter.
Of course, heating may work but I wouldn't do that with the glass and gasket installed so try the penetrant and drift first.

Some heat may be required in addition to penetrating oil. Those are going to be locked into place.
