Tips to follow before or when you Repair your
Windshield

• Decide whether it needs immediate attention
  Check where the crack is located. Is it obscuring
  your view or off to the side? If the crack
  interferes with your scope to see the road, you
  must deal with it immediately by taking the
  vehicle to the windscreen shop. But if it is not
  improving the ability to check the road, grab the
  ruler.
• Avoid dirt and debris One of the biggest things
  to protect your car windshield from is dirt. If
  dirt fills the crack, it would make the repair
  more complicated. But it never means that you
  have to reach for a bucket or head for the car
  wash. And when water seeps into the crack, the
  repair process converts into a complete
  replacement. Use clear packing tape to keep the
  moisture and dirt away from the crack. And it
  will not obscure the view as well.
• Avoid temperature extremes When your car
  windshield has got a crack, remember that extreme
  cold is not good for a cracked windscreen. So,
  refrain from putting the defroster or air
  conditioner on high. Rather, moderately use the
  heater to defrost the windows gradually.
• Park your vehicle indoors to avoid the sun If
  your vehicle has got a crack, and you want to
  repair it instead of replacing it to
  save windscreen price, then protect the vehicle
  against sun and rain. Otherwise, the windscreen
  would heat up and allow the crack to expand.
• Drive your vehicle carefully Another effective
  way to ensure that the crack doesnt get bigger
  before windscreen repair you have to drive with
  full caution. This includes avoiding rough roads
  and steering clear of potholes. Besides, be
  careful when getting in or out of your car. Dont
  slam the door or the trunk.

When to replace the windshield?

• There are some instances when it becomes very
  important to replace your windscreen. One of the
  instances is that if there is a hole through the
  windshield, then you have to repair it ASAP. But
  in some cases, chips or smaller cracks can also
  lead to replacing your existing windshield. As
  per the rule of thumb, if you have 3 or more
  cracks in the windshield, then you have to
  replace it. Otherwise, the impacted windscreen
  would start losing the ability to withstand more
  impacts. Replacing the shield is also important
  if the crack in it is 14 inches or more than that.

Tips for Replacing your Windshield

• Remove the trim This is the first step to
  follow. Use a razor to remove it effectively
  while loosening the windshield.
• Remove the windshield Once you remove the trim,
  the next step is to remove the AIG windscreen
  panel and lift it away from the vehicle. Do it
  carefully so that it doesnt break.
• Clean out and make the Pinch Weld ready After
  removing the windshield, the next step is to
  clean and prepare the pinch weld. Dust, dirt, and
  old urethane can build up to this place over
  time. Cleaning it out before installing the new
  windscreen is important to ensure that the new
  shield perfectly fits into the place.
• Apply urethane After cleaning the pinch weld,
  apply urethane to the edges of the pinch weld.
  The urethane works as the adhesive or glue that
  holds the windscreen perfectly in place. So,
  apply it evenly while ensuring it doesnt dry or
  set before the new windshield is put into the
  place.
• Install the new windshield This is the last step
  of the windscreen replacement process. Place the
  new windshield carefully fitting over the hole on
  the car. Fit it properly within the pinch weld.
  Once you position it properly, push it into the
  place with suction bars and cups and held it
  there for several minutes. Remove the suction
  cups and bars when the urethane starts to set.
