Acoustic Vinyl Windshield Technology

Automotive designers are continually working to make motor vehicle interiors more quiet and comfortable. Research tests have shown that outside noise is often transmitted through the vehicle’s windshield. One way to reduce noise is to increase the thickness of the glass.

An OEM windshield is identical to the original, factory installed windshield that came with your car when it was new. OEM windshields may not be manufactured by the company who made the windshield originally installed on your car, but they are identical in almost every way.

Avoid Using Auto Glass Companies That Offer You Unbelievable Deals


Auto glass companies paying you to do business with them seems too good to be true. Some glass companies will bill insurance companies with inflated charges for labor and parts, and by using cheap parts and inexperienced laborers, they can afford to give some money back to you. This causes everyone’s insurance rates to increase and benefits nobody but the glass company.

You should avoid using glass companies that offer you free steaks, dinners, instant cash back or other enticements to replace your windshield. Most often these companies pay inexperienced technicians below industry standard wages and require them to work 10 to 12 hours per day using the least expensive parts they can get away with.

Companies who pay you for windshield replacements are typically only worried about their high number of sales over a short period of time than they are about being there a year from now when you may need their help.

Many of these companies change names over the course of time in order to avoid warranty issues. This means you may end up paying the costs of repairs for poor workmanship and faulty parts. Some auto glass companies have even committed fraud by submitting false claims using consumer’s insurance information.

You should do business with safe and reputable companies like Pride Auto Glass. For Lifetime No-Leak Warranty windshield and auto glass replacement in the metro Phoenix west valley, call 623-594-4388!

Safe Drive Away Time


Your windshield is classified as a safety device because it provides structural strength to your car body and supports the inflation and performance of passenger side airbags.  As important as the windshield quality is, so too is the quality and proper installation of the glass.

All repair work done to your car is regulated by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) to ensure  that  all  parts and their installation meet the performance requirements that contribute to your safety.  A Safe Drive Away Time defines the amount of time that your car is required to remain out of service until the auto-glass part installed can properly operate as a safety device.

Consumers should be aware that the focus of a Safe Drive Away Time is safety. By adhering to the auto glass adhesive manufacturer's Safe Drive Away Time calculations, FMVSS requirements are met and your car is safe to drive.
