WHAT TO CHECK AFTER WINDSHIELD REPAIR?

After having your windshield repaired, it is important to check that the repair was done
correctly and that the windshield is safe to use. There are several things you should
look for when inspecting a windshield repair job, including checking for any visible
cracks or chips, ensuring that the sealant has been applied properly

How do I know if my windshield is installed correctly?

Having a correctly installed windshield is essential for your safety and the safety of
those around you. Knowing if your windshield is installed correctly can be difficult, but
there are a few key indicators that you can look for to ensure that it has been done
properly.

This article will provide you with some tips on how to tell if your windshield is installed
correctly.

Check for Leaks

To check for leaks, you can use a hose to spray water around the edges of the
windshield. If you notice any water seeping through, then it is likely that the windshield
has not been installed correctly.

Look for Gaps

If you can see any gaps, then it is likely that the windshield has not been installed
correctly.

Check for Proper Alignment

The windshield should be properly aligned with the frame of the car. If you notice that
the windshield is not aligned correctly, then it is likely that it has not been installed
correctly.

Check for Proper Adhesion

The windshield should be securely adhered to the frame of the car. If you can easily pull
the windshield away from the frame, then it is likely that it has not been installed
correctly.
Check for Proper Sealing
The windshield should be properly sealed to the frame of the car. If you can see any
gaps or cracks in the sealant, then it is likely that the windshield has not been installed
correctly.

Is a replaced windshield as good as the original?

Replacing a windshield can be a necessary part of car maintenance, but many people
wonder if the replacement is as good as the original. The answer is yes, in most cases.
Modern windshields are made from laminated safety glass, which is designed to be
shatter-resistant and provide protection in the event of an accident.

When a windshield is replaced, the new glass is just as strong and reliable as the
original. The installation process is also important for ensuring that the replacement
windshield is just as good as the original. Professional auto glass technicians use
specialized tools and techniques to ensure that the new windshield is properly installed
and sealed.

This helps to prevent water and air leaks, which can cause damage to the vehicle over
time. In some cases, a replacement windshield may not be as good as the original. If
the installation process is not done correctly, or if the wrong type of glass is used, the
replacement windshield may not provide the same level of protection as the original.

Overall, a replaced windshield can be just as good as the original, provided that it is
installed correctly and made from the right type of glass.
