Q: Does my windshield act as a safeguard?
If your windshield is installed correctly it sure does! Auto manufacturers say your windshield gives up to 50 percent of the roof crush protection in a roll-over car accident. It also provides the backstop support for your passenger-side airbag in a front end collision. Your windshield is also designed as one of the main safety restraint systems in your vehicle. If your windshield were to pop out in a collision or rollover and you did not have your seat belt on or it were to fail you can be ejected from your car.

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 auto glass, it's impossible to tell if the windshield was prepared correctly if critical primers and proper flash times were used, as well as if the proper amount and type of urethane was used. Once an auto glass is installed all the essential installation groundwork steps are hidden under the moldings and black ceramic band. If it appears to be a clean windshield, back glass or other variety of auto glass installation and the moldings are lying properly you can only guess it was done right, and truthfully those things are only cosmetic, it's what is underneath and when and how it was performed 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 advise it.

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.
