We are OEM Auto Glass Repair Specialists!
These days, there are many options for your auto glass replacement needs, but they are not all the same, nor do they provide the same level and quality of service. Getting an incorrect installation can be costly and deadly. If your windshield is improperly installed, it can fall off, injuring your car and others, or it can collapse inwardly, hurting those inside the vehicle. If the vehicle’s airbags deploy and the windshield isn’t properly secured or glued, the windshield could pop out. If the windshield pops out, then that can cause the roof to cave in, since the windshield is what supports and holds up the roof. It isn’t enough just to have manufacture grade glass and materials, but the installers must also know what they’re doing, have good training and experience, and supply high caliber installations.
Some people will replace glass just to get the job done, which creates major safety problems. Without correct installation, the car is not safe to drive or operate, and can risk having leaks or rust. Sometimes even going over a big bump will cause the windshield to slip or separate from its frame. It is also important for installers to use the correct adhesive for auto glass replacement, and let the car sit for the right allotted amount of time so the glue can cure. If you hear “swooshing” while driving, that may mean air is getting in and the windshield was improperly mounted and sealed. Additionally, not letting the car sit for the right amount of time can cause the windshield to shift or become misaligned, creating some of the problems mentioned above.
