Here are some of the steps involved, so have an idea of what to expect.
Our pre-work includes inspection and protecting vulnerable areas from damage during the replacement job. We will remove moldings, wipers, cowl, and trim, and carefully cut out the old windshield from the polyurethane adhesive with a variety of hand and power tools. The surface preparation includes trimming the old polyurethane adhesive. Although this step is often time-consuming, it ensures a quality fit and bond of the new auto glass.
We will use primers and quick setting polyurethane adhesives to ensure a proper application. The glass installation requires our technician to thoroughly clean and apply activator to the glass and allow the precise amount of time for it to dry before installing it on the newly applied polyurethane. Then he will replace the moldings, wipers, cowl, and trim and clean any debris leftover from the replacement process.
In addition, we will reinstall the rear-view window, toll transponder, transfer inspection stickers, and remount remote started components as required. The post-work includes inspecting the vehicle and providing clear instructions on the safe drive-away time until the adhesive completely cures and the car is safe to drive.
