Q: How soon can I wash my car after my windshield is replaced?
You can hand wash your motor 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, actually the wetness actually helps the curing process of the urethane adhesive sealant. You should wait at least 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 an opportunity to adequately cure. It's also vital to leave at least one of the windows open at least 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or a/c is operated within the first day. Having a window slightly open prevents the pressure build up from ambient heat on a hot day and the pressure the heater or a/c unit builds up inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, triggering an air or water leak.

Q: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You absolutely should never delay. The windshield is a vital skeletal element of your automobile. If diminished caused by untended damage, it will not provide optimal protection in an accident. Many small chips or surface cracks only have an effect on the outer layer of the windshield, so it can be repaired before it gets any worse and necessitates more money and time to fix.

Q: What will the auto glass shop most likely ask me when I call?
We need to know who your insurance company is and the year, make, and model of your vehicle, the type of damage you have and when and where you need the work performed.

Q: What's the difference between glass in a windshield and other window glass?
Auto glass is developed and produced for optimum safety in the event of a collision. Your windshield is made of 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 in one piece in a crash. Tempered glass has been treated to make it much stronger than other glass of a similar thickness. If it breaks, it is designed to shatter into tiny bits.

We also replace windshields in Allentown, Macungie and other nearby areas.
