Frequently Asked Questions
Providing answers since 1905
Question:
How is my windshield installed?
Answer:
The windshield is glued in with a product called Urethane. We use
SIKA
ASAP. The windshield is primed, the urethane is heated to 180° for one hour on a special heater, and this requires the vehicle to set for one hour.

Question:
Can you repair my windshield if it is chipped or do you have to replace it?
Answer:
Yes. If the break is quarter size or smaller, we can extract the darkness which is trapped air. Then we
fill the cavity
with resin and cure the resin with ultra violet light.

Question:
Will I lose the strength of the windshield?
Answer:
No. When we do the repair, the resin goes into the small cracks and holds the cracks; therefore you will not lose the structure strength of the windshield.
Question:
Why should I do a windshield repair rather than just replace it?
Answer:
It is a lot cheaper and it usually only takes 20 minutes. It also holds you in amount claims less which should help you keep your insurance rates down. Most insurance companies will pay for windshield repair 100%.
Question:
My windshield has a crack which goes across the windshield, should I replace it?
Answer:
Yes. The windshield is the structure strength of the roof. The crack is a weak spot. In an accident, this will cause the windshield to lose its strength for the roof. This also creates an obstruction of vision.
Question:
If I replace my windshield, will it be as good as new?
Answer:
Yes. The windshield will be as good as factory or possibly better.
Question:
How long does it take to replace the windshield?
Answer:
It takes us 1½ to 2 hours to
remove and replace
your windshield with ASAP SIKA Urethane. We will only let you drive your vehicle when the urethane is set and safe for your vehicle and even vehicles with airbags.
