• Inspection of Damaged Windshield: The process begins with a thorough inspection of the damaged windshield. A certified technician assesses the extent of the damage to determine if a replacement is necessary. This step ensures that all issues are identified and addressed before proceeding.
• Removal of Old Windshield: Once it’s confirmed that a replacement is needed, the old windshield is carefully removed. The technician uses specialized tools to detach the windshield from the frame without causing any damage to the surrounding areas. This step is crucial to prepare the vehicle for the new installation.
• Cleaning of Frame and Application of Primer and Adhesive: After the old windshield is removed, the frame of the vehicle is meticulously cleaned to remove any dirt, debris, or old adhesive. This ensures a smooth surface for the new windshield. A primer is then applied to the frame to enhance the bond between the frame and the adhesive. Next, a high-quality adhesive is applied, which is essential for securing the new windshield in place.
• Placement and Sealing of New Windshield: The new windshield is then carefully placed onto the prepared frame. The technician ensures that it fits perfectly and aligns correctly with the vehicle’s specifications. Once in position, the adhesive seals the windshield, creating a strong bond that holds it securely.
• Curing of Adhesive to Secure Windshield: The final step involves allowing the adhesive to cure properly. This curing process is critical as it ensures the windshield is firmly attached and can withstand various stresses while driving. The vehicle is typically left undisturbed for a specified period to allow the adhesive to set completely.

• Avoid Slamming Doors: Slamming your car doors can create strong vibrations that may stress the windshield, especially when it’s new. This can lead to cracks or other damage. To prevent this, always close your car doors gently, particularly in the first few days after the windshield has been replaced.
• Use Appropriate Cleaners: Proper cleaning is crucial to maintaining the clarity and longevity of your new windshield. Use cleaners specifically designed for automotive glass, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the glass or the adhesive. A soft microfiber cloth is ideal for cleaning, as it won’t scratch the surface.
• Avoid Parking Under Trees: Parking under trees can expose your windshield to falling branches, sap, bird droppings, and other debris that can cause damage or leave stubborn stains. Whenever possible, park your car in a garage or covered area to protect your windshield from such hazards.
• Repair Minor Chips and Cracks Promptly: Even small chips and cracks can expand quickly due to temperature changes, road vibrations, or further impacts. Addressing these minor damages promptly can prevent them from becoming larger issues that require a complete windshield replacement. Many repair kits and services are available to fix these issues quickly and effectively.

By following these simple maintenance tips, you can extend the life of your new windshield and ensure it remains in excellent condition. For any issues or repairs, trust HighTech Auto Glass in Phoenix to provide expert care and service for your windshield.
