When you need a new windshield, you need to get one installed quickly for your safety as well as its structural integrity. Whether you have a windshield crack that has spread across the glass or recently incurred a large chip, you want to get your new windshield installed so you can get on with your life.
Here’s what to know about a windshield installation:
- Size and location of the chip or crack matter. A new windshield installation may not be necessary if you have a chip or crack that is smaller than a quarter. However, if there are several small chips or a chip that is in the driver’s direct line of vision, a new windshield may be necessary.
- OEM vs. aftermarket windshields. When selecting a new windshield, you can choose an Original Equipment Manufacturer windshield, or OEM, or an aftermarket windshield. OEM windshields are manufactured with the same exact specifications as the original vehicle windshield. Aftermarket windshields are akin to replicas of the original windshields, made to fit the same but not necessarily with the same specifications. OEM windshields are more expensive than aftermarket windshields, but they are made according to the original automaker’s standards.
