The Facts About Windshield Damage
Your vehicle's windshield provides up to 45% of the vehicle's structural integrity in a front-end collision and up to 60% in a rollover accident. A compromised windshield might lead to reduced structural stability during accidents. Many modern vehicles have advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that rely on cameras and sensors mounted on the windshield. Incorrect windshield replacement can negatively impact the functionality of these systems, jeopardizing your safety. Driving with a severely cracked windshield might be illegal in some jurisdictions, as it impairs visibility and poses a risk to you and other road users.
Our Windshield Replacement Process
When it comes to windshield replacement, a well-executed process ensures your safety and the long-term performance of your vehicle. One of our certified technicians will assess the extent of the damage. Depending on the size, location, and severity of the damage, we will determine if a repair or replacement is necessary. In replacement cases, the old windshield is carefully removed using specialized tools to avoid any damage to the frame or surrounding areas. The frame and surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned to ensure proper adhesion of the new windshield. A new windshield, often manufactured to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, is carefully placed and bonded to the vehicle using high-quality adhesive. The adhesive requires time to cure properly. This waiting period is essential to ensuring the windshield stays in place, even during high-speed impacts. Finally, we conduct a thorough inspection to verify proper installation and the absence of any defects.
Cost Considerations
The cost of windshield replacement can vary based on several factors. The size, make, and model of your vehicle influence the cost. High-end vehicles might have windshields with advanced technologies, increasing the replacement cost. Different types of glass, such as laminated or tempered glass, have varying costs. Some vehicles might require special-order glass, affecting the overall expense. If your vehicle has ADAS, recalibration of these systems after windshield replacement is crucial. This adds to the overall cost but is essential for your safety.
