3 Things You Should Never Do After a Windshield Replacement

After you get a windshield replacement, you don’t want to go through any further mishaps requiring you to return to the shop. Taking care of your glass is essential to avoid additional problems, so learn how to prevent harm to your new windshield.

3 Mistakes To Avoid After Windshield Replacement

Protect your new windshield with the following tips:

1. Don’t go to the car wash. You may be excited to get out on the road now that your car is in proper condition. However, your windshield needs gentle treatment in the upcoming days to avoid undoing the hard work of installation. A high-pressure car wash can ruin the adhesive, so wait at least 48 hours to go a car wash.
2. Don’t slam your doors. You must treat your car gently in the first two days after glass replacement. You may puncture the seal of the windshield if you close your doors forcefully.
3. Don’t expose your vehicle to high temperatures or impacts. Optimally, you should avoid driving in the days following a glass replacement, but that may not be possible. If you can’t leave your car sheltered in a cool location, drive cautiously, avoiding bumps and jostling. If the weather is hot, leave a window open about an inch when you park so the heat doesn’t create pressure on the new glass.
