Damaged Car Glass Windshield Repair & Replacement

The windshield is the safety restraint in your car. The windshield comprises two sheets of glass that are held together by a special PVB interlayer. When your car windshield breaks, the PVB interlayer holds the glass in place rather than allowing the glass shards to fall into the car and cause injury. Not only this, your car windshield provides structural support to your car. It performs the important task of strengthening the structure of your car so that you don’t get crushed in case of a rollover. If your car meets with an accident, the windshield protects you and your fellow passengers from any harsh impact. Your windshield also prevents you and your fellow passengers from being thrown out of the car in case of heavy external impact.

An incorrectly-installed windshield can easily pop out during an accident. It can also lead to the roof caving in and collapsing on you and your fellow passengers. Moreover, if the windshield replace task is not performed properly, the auto glass can be easily blown out at the time of airbag deployment. A defective windshield or a structurally-weak windshield weakens the safety function of your car and can make you prone to serious injury in the face of an accident or collision.

Indications of a Bad Windshield Replacement

A windshield replacement is done to ensure that your car windshield continues to perform the way it is supposed to. But there are times when the replacement job is not done properly. There are a few indicators that can help you determine whether your windshield replacement job was done well or not. These markers can help you make the distinction between a professional replacement and a poor-quality one.

Noise from the Windshield

An ill-fitted windshield will make a rattling noise whenever your car hits a pothole. This noise indicates that the auto glass is not fitted properly and is knocking against the windshield frame. Another indicator is the ‘whooshing’ sound that you might hear especially while driving at a higher speed. This is the sound of wind getting in through the cracks where your windshield is incorrectly installed. This noise pitch can differ depending on how poorly the replacement job was performed.

Lumps and Bumps

Another sign of poor-quality windshield replacement are bumps and waves in your windshield. The best way to resolve this problem is to first examine the glass under sunlight. When you look at your car in broad daylight, your windshield should look smooth. There shouldn't be any bumps or waves in the glass. If the glass looks smooth, it is a sign that your installation was done correctly and your auto glass is of good-quality. Waves and bumps on the windshield can cause disorientation for the driver and can also prove to be a hindrance while driving. This is why if you find any waves or imperfections, you should get it corrected immediately from a trained professional.

Drive-Away Time

After installing a new windshield, if you were allowed, by the technician, to drive your car home then undoubtedly your windshield will have some problems with its installation. After the replacement job is done, the adhesives require some time to set in place and harden. Driving your car before the adhesives have set in can result in shifting of the glass.  Even the smallest bumps on the road or the smallest jerk can cause damage. So, if your auto-glass technician allows you to drive just after the replacement process is done then for sure your car windshield glass isn’t sitting right.

The Correct Way of Getting a Windshield Replacement Done

The first thing to remember while getting a windshield replacement done is seeking a trained professional’s help and not resorting to DIY solutions. A certified professional is trained in the correct methods for installing windshields. They are a master at handling situations like yours and thus, will be able to tell you what will be the best solution for your windshield. An ill-fitted windshield can cost a lot of money in the long run. More importantly, it can put you and your fellow passengers in life-threatening danger. This is why it is not a wise decision to be driving around in a car with an ill-fitted windshield.
