Frequently Asked Questions
Not every chip requires a full replacement. Small chips under one inch can often be repaired quickly and affordably. However, a windshield replacement service is typically the right call when:
- The chip or crack is larger than two inches
- Damage has spread into a crack from an original chip
- Damage falls within the driver’s line of sight
- There are multiple cracks or a star break wider than three inches
Most replacements take between one and three hours from start to finish. The process involves removing the trim and damaged glass, applying fresh urethane adhesive, installing the new windshield, and allowing the adhesive to cure.
One factor that can extend the timeline is the availability of glass. If your vehicle requires a specialty windshield that needs to be ordered, you may wait several days for it to arrive. Letting us know your timeline upfront helps us expedite the process where possible.
Plan to wait at least one hour after installation before driving. This allows the urethane adhesive enough time to properly bond the windshield to your vehicle’s frame. Your technician will provide you with a specific Safe Drive Away Time (SDAT), which can vary depending on the adhesive used and the conditions present during installation, such as temperature and humidity.
In some cases, the recommended wait time may be longer than one hour. It’s important to follow this guidance closely, as driving too soon risks the windshield shifting out of position or failing to seal correctly, which can compromise both your safety and the integrity of the installation.
Ignored chips don’t stay small. Temperature fluctuations cause glass to expand and contract, turning a minor chip into a full crack quickly. Beyond the cosmetic issue, a compromised windshield affects your vehicle’s structural integrity and can obstruct your view at critical moments. Most chips under one inch are repairable for a fraction of replacement cost. Waiting too long removes that option entirely.
At Auto Glass Solutions, we use either OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass or OEM-equivalent aftermarket glass, depending on your vehicle and budget. OEM glass is manufactured to match the exact specifications of your vehicle’s original windshield. High-quality aftermarket equivalents, on the other hand, are designed to meet the same safety standards as OEM glass, often at a more affordable price point without sacrificing quality or performance. Both options are carefully vetted to ensure they meet the same rigorous safety requirements. For vehicles equipped with modern safety features, such as lane departure warning, lane assist, or automatic emergency braking, it’s also essential that the replacement glass is fully compatible with those systems, as the windshield directly affects how those features function.
