Caring For a New Windshield Installation

After having a new windshield installed on your vehicle, there are some important steps you need to follow to ensure a perfect installation. 

The adhesive used to bond the windshield to the vehicle’s body needs at least one hour to set up to a tactile strength required by Automotive Safety Collision Standards.

No sunscreens, sun shades, dash mats, antennas, wiring or any other objects that could come in contact with the windshield adhesive should be placed on or around the dash for 48 hours. Do not wash your vehicle for at least 48 hours after a windshield install. No high pressure should be applied to the windshield areas until the adhesive has completely cured.

Special retention tape may be used to secure your windshield molding while the adhesive cures, and should remain on for 24 hours.  Replace your windshield wipers if they show signs of wear. The wipers of a vehicle should be in top condition. Any damage or tear in the wiper rubber can result in scratches in the windshield.
