FAQs

Windshields are made of laminated safety glass while the rest of your car's glass is tempered.
Avoid leaving valuables inside your car or hide them from plain sight by placing them in your trunk, glove box, or under a seat.
In addition to the usual debris, rock chips, etc that can happen any time of the year, the weather itself can in fact cause cracks. Glass is actually sensitive to temperature- it contracts in the cold and expands in the heat.
Two sheets of glass, held together by an inner layer of strong vinyl makes up a vehicle windshield, and is one of the most important safety pieces between you and the open road.
It provides structural strength to your vehicle body, supports the inflation and performance of airbags, as well as helps keep passengers inside the car, in case of an accident.
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are U.S. federal regulations specifying design, construction, performance, and durability requirements for motor vehicles and regulated Automobile safety-related components, systems, and design features.
Ask your technician to provide a record of work completed as well as information on a windshield warranty.
Replace your windshield when:
  • Damage impairs the drivers visibility
  • Crack is near, or reaches into, the outside margin of glass
  • Damage reduces the safety of the car in case of a collision
  • The inner layer of glass has been broken
In the winter months, it is also important to have your windshield repaired in a heated garage, ensuring the best outcome for the glass product and efficiency of the installers.
Not necessarily, but any glass should be repaired as soon as possible for two main reasons:
  • Damaged windshields may weaken and provide less protection to vehicle occupants. Windshields are custom designed to ensure the safety of passengers. Acting similarly to a helmet, a damaged windshield doesn’t provide the level of protection intended. Just a small crack can signify a compromise in the structural integrity of the glass and should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
  • Safety and visibility are decreased with chipped or cracked windshields. Over time, moisture, dirt, and excess fluids may seep into auto glass layers further decreasing visibility and damage. Add in precipitation, an unknown cycle of freezing and thawing, unstable road conditions, and that small chip transformed into a large crack overnight

Windshield calibration is the process of adjusting the parameters of a camera lens to capture a complete image of the vehicle and road, guaranteeing that in-car ADAS systems receive accurate and reliable information.
All automakers have committed to installing ADAS by the year 2022.
Weather conditions that are too hot, or too cold, will impact the adhesives that hold the windshield in place, affecting the drive away times, therefore compromising the effectiveness of the glue itself.
Your technician will determine the length of time your vehicle needs to be stationary (usually a few hours), based on the temperature, humidity, weather, and road conditions. A safe drive away time is crucial to the performance of the windshield, and can advised while scheduling your appointment.

As the average temps dip below 32 degrees fahrenheit, metal around the windshield will contract, putting stress on the windshield and allowing small dents or cracks to expand.
No! Drastic temperature changes are detrimental to windshields, especially if there are existing cracks or dents. Try to slowly warm up your vehicle on cold days to preserve the durability of your windshield.
