When your windshield is in disrepair, you know that getting it fixed is a major part of maintaining the safety of your vehicle. If it’s time to replace your windshield, you may have questions about the process of a new windshield installation. You may wonder how long it will take, if one kind of windshield is better than another, and if there are any restrictions on driving once the job is done. Fortunately, we’ve got answers that will ease your mind.
- How long will it take? Windshield installation takes between half an hour to a couple of hours. The length of time depends on factors such as temperature, humidity level, type of vehicle, and type of adhesive being used.
- What’s the best windshield? When choosing your windshield type, you can opt for a windshield that comes directly from a dealer, an OEM windshield, or aftermarket windshield glass. When you contact us to set up your appointment, together we’ll determine which type of windshield is the best fit for your vehicle.
- What’s the drive-away time like? Drive-away time is the amount of time necessary to wait before being able to drive your vehicle after a windshield installation. The drive-away time needs to be long enough to allow the adhesive to be firm enough that your windshield won’t be damaged by driving. Generally, you can expect to drive your car in around an hour but may need to wait 24 hours for more intense driving conditions.
