Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement is dependent on the size, location, and degree of the problem. Most of the time, damage can possibly be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, affects only the outer layer of glass, and does not show up directly in the driver's line of vision. Nonetheless, every case is unique. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be taken a look at promptly.

Q: Are there any out of pocket costs to have my windshield repaired?
The answer depends on your insurance coverage. For glass repairs, most auto insurance companies waive the insurance deductible so you will not have to pay anything out of pocket. In truth, many insurance companies do not even count glass repairs as a claim. For glass replacement, you may not have to pay anything if your auto insurance plan includes full glass coverage. Having said that, if your policy includes a deductible for glass replacement, then you will be accountable for the deductible amount and your insurance provider will pay any money over the deductible amount.

Q: What kind of parts do you use for your glass services?

SIKA Training assures the proper application of the entire SIKA Adhesive System, which is critical to the safe installation of the new glass in your motor vehicle.

Q: How quickly can I wash my automobile after my windshield is switched out?
You can hand wash your vehicle provided you keep high-pressure sprays of water faraway from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem in any way, as a matter of fact, the moisture actually helps the curing process of the urethane adhesive sealant. You should wait a minimum of 24 hours before washing your vehicle in a high-pressure type of car or truck wash. A high-pressure automated car wash can damage the new windshield seal and outer moldings before the urethane adhesive used in the new windshield installation has a possibility to sufficiently cure. It's also necessary to leave at least one of the windows open about 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or cooling is operated within the first 24 hours. Having a window a little open prevents the pressure build-up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or air conditioning unit builds up inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, leading to an air or water leak.

Q: After I have my windshield replaced, how do I know if it was done right?
You don't! In the absence of removing the windshield, it's difficult to tell if the windshield was prepped correctly if critical primers and proper flash times were used, and even if the proper amount and type of urethane were utilized. Once a windshield is installed all the critical installation groundwork steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears like a clean windshield, back glass, or another type of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying correctly you can only presume it was done right, and actually those things are only cosmetic, it's what is underneath and when and how it was done during the replacement installation process that counts. The only sure way to tell if a windshield or other type of auto glass is correctly installed is to crash test it, but we sure don't recommend it.

Q: What's the difference between glass in a windshield and other window glass?
Auto glass is designed and produced for optimum protection in case of an accident. Your windshield is constructed from laminated safety glass. The side and rear windows are comprised of tempered glass. Laminated safety glass is two pieces of glass with a layer of vinyl sandwiched between, so it will stay intact in an accident. Tempered glass has been treated to make it much stronger than other glass of the same thickness. If it breaks, it is designed to shatter into little bits.
