Glass Replacement
Auto glass replacement involves completely removing the damaged windshield or other vehicle window and installing a new one. Here’s an overview of the typical process:
Assessment: The technician examines the damage to determine if replacement is necessary. Factors such as the size, location, and type of damage (large cracks, severe chips) are considered.
Preparation: The vehicle is prepared for replacement by removing any external parts that might obstruct access to the glass, such as wipers, trim, and moldings.
Removal: The old windshield or window is carefully removed using specialized tools to avoid damaging the vehicle's frame or surrounding panels. Any remaining adhesive or urethane is also cleaned off to prepare for the new glass.
Pre-installation Inspection: The technician checks the vehicle’s frame and surroundings to ensure there are no underlying issues that could affect the new glass’s fit or integrity.
Installation: The new windshield or window is installed using high-quality adhesive or urethane that meets manufacturer specifications. The technician ensures that the glass is properly aligned and seated within the frame.
Curing: The adhesive or urethane is allowed to cure for the recommended time, which may vary depending on the product used and environmental conditions. This curing process ensures a strong bond between the glass and the vehicle.
Replacement of Parts: Any trim, moldings, or other components that were removed during preparation are reinstalled.
Final Inspection: The technician performs a final inspection to verify that the replacement glass is securely installed and meets safety standards. They also ensure that all parts and functions affected by the replacement, such as sensors or heating elements, are properly functioning.
Auto glass replacement is necessary for damage that is extensive, severe, or located in critical areas of the windshield or windows. It restores the structural integrity of the vehicle and ensures clear visibility, contributing to overall safety on the road.
