Q: Does a chipped windshield need to be repaired or replaced?
Repair versus replacement is dependent on the size, location, and degree of the damage. Most of the time, damage can be repaired if the chip is a quarter-size or less, impacts only the outer layer of the windshield, and does not show up directly in the driver's line of sight. Having said that, every case is one-of-a-kind. Regardless, a damaged windshield should be examined immediately.

Q: How soon can I wash my car after my windshield is switched out?
You can hand wash your automobile as long as you keep high-pressure sprays of water well away from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem in any way, in reality, 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 pressure type of car or truck wash. A high-pressure automated car wash can destroy 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 essential to leave at least one of the windows open a minimum of 2 inches to reduce the pressurization in the vehicle when the doors are shut and when the heat or air conditioning is operated within the first day. 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 develops inside the vehicle's cabin from pushing a hole through the new uncured urethane seal, resulting in an air or water leak.

Q: Is there a difference between my windshield and the other glass in the car?
Yes, there is. Windshield glass is laminated safety glass, designed to react differently in an auto accident, where the sides and rear are often tempered glass.
