Q: How soon can I wash my car after my windshield is changed?
You can hand wash your vehicle just as long as you keep high-pressure sprays of water away from the windshield and moldings. Water or rain on the new windshield installation isn't a problem at all, in point of fact the moisture 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 automatic 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 important to leave at least one of the windows open at the very least 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 slightly 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: It's only a small crack. Can I wait to have it repaired?
No. You truly shouldn't postpone. The windshield is an important structural element of your automobile. If weakened because of untended damage, it will not provide optimal protection in a car accident. Many small chips or surface cracks only affect the outer layer of the windshield, so it can possibly be fixed before it gets any worse and demands more money and time to fix.
