Windshield replacement
If your windshield cracks, you must quickly take it to a windshield replacement service, as it can impair your driving visibility and cause significant damage. Of course, such health risks should be avoided at all costs, which is why you should replace your car’s windshield as soon as possible. Contrary to what the name might imply, a windshield replacement does not always involve replacing the entire windshield; if there is only a minor chip, a skilled mechanic can easily fix it and let you continue driving. Even though it might seem more practical, you shouldn’t opt for a straightforward fix instead of a car windshield replacement on your own. Only a qualified mechanic who has examined your windshield can determine this.
What to expect during a windshield replacement
- A mechanic will first clean the area around the crack to ensure that any small, dislodged pieces of glass are removed. When the entire windshield is removed, this can help avoid accidents.
- Following a superficial cleaning of the glass, the mechanic will remove all of the important components that secure the windshield to the car, such as the frame and the rubber gasket. To avoid any damage, the wipers will also be removed.
- After that, the windshield will be removed from the frame.
- A new windshield from a reputable company will be installed in the frame. All of the other components of the windshield will then be reinstalled in the proper order.
- After these steps are completed, the mechanic will perform a few simple checks to ensure that the windshield replacement was completed correctly. This is due to the fact that an incorrectly placed windshield can cause just as much damage as a cracked one, as it increases the risk of glass damage while driving.
