Repair Small Chips Quickly Before Cracks Spread
Handy repairs your small glass dings at a lower cost than a replacement. Here’s a common tip to help you check the severity of the damage: if the damaged portion is bigger than your mobile phone, it generally needs replacement. When the auto glass damage is too extensive or if it gets in the way of seeing out of the vehicle, we suggest that our customers have it replaced. Not tending to damaged glass makes it prone to even further damage as cracks spread during bumpy drives and glass expansion and contraction caused by changes in temperature. Resorting to repairing damaged glass when it should have been replaced can lead to further disintegration of the glass upon exposure to environmental factors.
How Is a Broken Windshield Replaced?
Attaching the replacement glass to the car starts with preparing the surfaces to be bonded by cleaning, laying of special protective tape when the rust inhibitor compound is applied on the surface and spreading of urethane adhesive primer on the glass to be installed. The frame that holds the window includes a structure called the pinch-weld that is shaped to hold the edges of the front window. Let our experienced team handle the work. Among other steps, our specialists remove the broken glass from the car frame by first pulling out the molding that holds it in place. After removing the molding, the whole glass panel is cut from its original position and then removed. A rust inhibiting compound is spread around the exposed areas of the metal frame before applying a urethane primer compound. The original adhesives are first removed to make room for the new application of primers and adhesives on the car frame.

Side Auto Window Repair
It is advisable to repair your car’s side window(s) as soon as possible by calling us so that our personnel can thoroughly assess the extent of the damage and choose if a polymer fill repair or replacement presents the right choice. The car windows of your driving machine protect you and your passengers from the outside elements and debris. A smashed side window may allow weather and exhaust fumes to enter the car, plus make it easy for thieves to enter and steal belongings inside and possibly drive off with the vehicle. To replace or repair damaged door glass, technicians disconnect the battery to prevent any electric short circuit and then remove the door panel from the car body while collecting the glass pieces from inside. In case there are shards of glass inside your vehicle, we will clean and vacuum your car before we install any new windows. For newly installed side windows, we will check and, if necessary, repair any mechanical functionality, like raising and lowering the window.
Rear Windshield Glass Replacement
Replacing the rear glass installation mirrors in many respects the procedure for replacing the front windshield. Car surfaces are protected with a drop cloth and removable painters tape where necessary. Damaged glass is cut from the vehicle frame, and sealing and bonding elements are removed. The bonded surfaces get coated with a rust inhibitor, urethane primer and urethane adhesive compounds before repair specialists put on the new glass and finish the job with electrical and gasket components.
Windshields – A Shield Against the Elements
Windscreens offer critical benefits, like enhancing the structural strength of the passenger compartment in the car and providing an unobstructed field of vision in all weather and driving speeds. Some features available today include cell phone antennas, blowers, and rain sensors. A damaged windshield compromises a car’s structural integrity, and in case of an accident, can lead to physical injury for the occupants. In the early years of automobile development, the glass installation simply prevented wind and rain from impeding the handling ability of the driver.
Auto Glass Evolution Over Time
Since the early cars, improvements in safety and utility have seen an ongoing evolution. A plastic layer in windshields constrains shattered pieces from scattering about from an impact on the glass. Material scientists and engineers developed laminated safety windows early in the twentieth century. The innovation originated when Edouard Benedictus slipped and pushed over a flask made of glass thinly coated with plastic; he discovered that the broken glass pieces did not burst like they usually do, but instead stayed together. He was not actively seeking a solution for the automotive industry, but realized that the chance finding offered a solution for a pressing problem facing carmakers. The material’s design ensures that even with a strong collision, the glass shards of the car window are unlikely to injure the driver and the passengers.

Tempered Glass Resists Breakage
While laminated auto safety glass includes tempered glass as a component, the tempered glass also performs alone in other requirements of cars. The strength in tempered glass comes from its manufacturing process wherein a heating and cooling cycle forces the glass into a permanent state of high compression. Unlike laminated safety panes, tempered ones do not have a plastic film to contain broken pieces; so while it resists breakage, when it does smash the whole window will fall to bits, but the resulting glass pebbles are generally not that sharp.
