How Windshield Glass Replacement Works
If your auto technician recommended a windshield replacement, you might be wondering what the process will entail. Our windshield glass replacement service includes the following steps:
- Removal of the Damaged Windshield: The first thing your team of technicians will do is remove the broken windshield using special cut tools. You can expect your team to perform this step easily, carefully, and cleanly.
- Application of the Adhesive: Your technicians will apply an adhesive sealant to your car’s windshield mounting area.
- Preparation of the New Windshield: Before installing the new glass, we will ensure it is completely clean and prepped with garnish moldings.
- Placement of the New Windshield: Finally, your team of vehicle windshield replacement technicians will lay down the new glass, ensuring it is aligned properly.
Once the windshield replacement is complete, we recommend that you wait about an hour before driving to allow the adhesive to dry. This time may vary depending on several factors, so always listen to your installation technicians’ instructions.
When Should Windshield Glass Be Replaced?
A windshield that has been shattered during an accident or collision clearly needs to be replaced before the vehicle can be safely driven. However, there are other instances where it may not be as easy to tell if you need to replace your windshield. We often recommend windshield glass replacement services when:
- The damage extends beyond the length of a dollar bill.
- The chip or crack is so deep that it has gone halfway through the windshield.
- The crack is directly in the driver’s line of sight.
- The damage affects the outer edges of the windshield.
While these signs can help you understand the severity of your windshield damage, it’s always best to consult an auto glass repair professional to determine the best course of action, whether that involves repair or replacement.
Can I Drive With a Crack in My Windshield?
While driving with a minor crack or chip in your windshield may not necessarily be dangerous, you should avoid driving with a severely damaged windshield because it decreases your visibility and puts the glass at greater risk of shattering.
It’s also important to note that it is illegal to drive a vehicle in Pennsylvania with shattered glass, glass with sharp edges, or cracked windshields that obstruct the driver’s view of the road. Instead of putting yourself, your loved ones, and the other drivers on the road at risk, schedule a car windshield replacement as soon as you notice issues with the glass.
Is It Better to Get the Windshield Repaired or Replaced?
Auto glass repairs are tempting when your windshield is cracked because repairs are often cheaper than vehicle windshield replacements. However, depending on the severity of the damage, a simple repair may not be sufficient enough to restore the integrity of the windshield. To ensure you choose the correct solution for your situation, you should consult an experienced auto glass technician. Our recommendations are designed to protect your safety and save you from paying for unnecessary replacements or repairs that will not work in the long run.
We will help you determine if repairs are sufficient or if you need windshield glass replacement services. Our technicians make this decision based on a few different factors, including:
- The size of the damage
- The location of the damage
- The amount of damage
