Why auto glass replacements should be completed indoors during the winter months
When doing auto glass replacement in Minnesota, or any cold-winter state, it is best to have the service performed inside a heated garage or building. When outside temperatures reach the freezing point, parts and equipment start to fail and people tend to rush through things trying to stay out of the cold weather as much as possible.
Plastic parts against Old Man Winter
Typically, anything plastic or hard rubber placed outside in freezing temperatures will become brittle and unreliable with the potential of breaking. Depending on the vehicle, there can be many plastic parts that are handled when working with auto glass replacement and the cold temperatures put the quality of the auto glass installation in question.
When replacing auto glass in a heated garage or building during the winter, the plastic and hard rubber parts are in the ideal environment and have a better chance of working properly during installation compared to outside.
“Man” versus Old Man Winter
Who wants to stand outside for an hour when the wind-chill is 25 degrees below zero? There is not much for shelter when replacing auto glass outside in the winter, exposing the installer to the elements. There is always the potential of an improper installation or missed steps from being rushed due to Mother Nature.
An auto glass installer who works inside a garage during the winter is able to be warm and comfortable while having all of their tools readily available. They have nothing to worry about except for installing the auto glass.
