The first step in repairing a windshield is cleaning the damaged area. For a successful repair job it is important that any contaminants (dirt, moisture, etc.) are removed from the damaged site. This means that it is important to get chips, dings and cracks repaired as soon as possible. Moisture can expand and contract with temperature changes, causing cracks and starbursts to grow. Dirt or other contaminants can create problems in filling the damaged areas and leave unsightly scars after the work is done.

Second, the windshield must be repaired by filling the damaged glass (via drilling and injection) with a resin that mimics glass.  The resin is injected into the drilled area after a vacuum is created. Creating the vacuum prevents lingering air pockets and reduces the stress on the glass as resin is infused.  Most repairs do leave a small 'scar', however, and major cracks or damage that interfere with the driver's sight should be discussed with a professional. It may be necessary to replace the windshield in these cases.  We cannot determine the cosmetic appearance of every repair and some may still be visible after the work is completed, but we do guarantee the chip to be structurally sound.

Finally, the resin must be 'cured' or set, so that it is no longer a liquid, but a solid adhesive that binds the broken glass together. The curing process is accelerated through the use of a specialized light so that the car can be driven immediately after the repair is done.

Glass replacement process:

Our goal is to ensure the integrity of your glass replacement by using the same techniques involved during the manufacturing process.  We use the highest quality urethanes, primers, moldings and glass.  Windshields are made of laminated glass.  That means that there are actually 2 layers of glass heat-compressed with a thin layer of plastic between them.  This is why when something does hit your windshield, it does not shatter. 

Windshield replacements involve the newest technologies in removal tools to minimize the strain on the installer and lower the risk for potential damage to the vehicle.  The process involves removing the excess urethane after the glass has been removed, clean and primer the windshield opening and run a new bead of urethane.  The glass is cleaned and primed as well, then installed into your vehicle.  We ask that the vehicle be allowed a dry time of 3 to 4 hours, longer if possible, and no high pressure car washes for at least 48 hours.

Doors, vents, quarters and back glasses are made of tempered glass which is designed to shatter upon impact.  Our installers are experts in the removal of the interior trim to allow access to clips and bolts.  They carefully remove door panels and rear hatch hinges to ensure they do not puncture or scratch any of the vehicle surfaces.  These replacements are done, again, with the same integrity as the manufacturer.
Our vans are equipped with generators and shop vacs to allow for glass clean-up on-site.  Most installations take 45 to 60 minutes, depending on glass and vehicle type.
