Driving with a damaged windshield really puts your life, along with the passengers in the car at risk. When you drive with a broken windshield you are more likely to get into a collision while driving.
Typically, you are able to take your car to a windshield technician if it endures damages while driving, but if the chip is too large then it will likely need to be replaced right away.
When replacing your windshield it is important to have it done professionally to avoid further complications or safety hazards to you and your passengers while driving. The good thing about getting a windshield replacement is that they do not take very long to perform.
Typically, the windshield technician will:
- Replace the rubber weather stripping (holds windshield to frame of car)
- Remove the old glass
- Clean all areas before re-applying new windshield glass
- Apply a coating of adhesive along the edges of windshield frame
- Lift the windshield glass into place
Although these steps seem simple and completely doable at home, it is extremely important for safety reasons that the new glass is installed properly and that there will be not further complications while driving after the installation.
It is a good idea before choosing a windshield replacement company that you do your research, call around and get a couple estimates as well as looking at reviews from previous customers. It is important that you find a reputable company to provide your windshield replacement so your safety and the safety of your passengers is not jeopardized.
