A Few Thoughts On Windshields

At some point in the life of your car you are very likely to have to replace your windshield. Somewhere between the rock chips and the aging of your car, you come to the point of needing a replacement.

The biggest reasons for replacements are rock chips that are left un-repaired. Rock chips allow air and moisture in to the glass and when they expand and contract, breakage is always the result. Repairing the chip glues the cracking in place and seals off air and moisture.

A less well known, but still common, reason for replacement is simply due to age. As the car ages so does the urethane that anchors the glass in place. The glue begins to fail and allows water to start corroding the seal and the metal frame. This usually is isolated to much older vehicles but has been seen in newer ones where the initial installation was not done properly.

When replacing, it is of the utmost importance to use high quality materials and techniques.  If someone decides to cut corners, the job will eventually have to be redone. You cannot install a windshield with a half effort and not expect to see the customer come back with complaints. Technicians who carelessly remove and install can damage the headliner, the plastic moldings in the interior, or even damage the paint causing serious rust issues in the future. Never settle for less than high quality installations.
