If your Santa Monica Windshield cracks and chips can impair driving visibility. Repairing the chip restores the structural integrity of the windshield and it’s cheaper than replacing a windshield. Getting a chip repaired is:
Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica can repair most chips and scratches in windshield glass, but if the windshield is cracked, it should be replaced to restore the structural integrity of the vehicle and protect the occupants.
STEP 1 – Assessing the Damage - If there is a windshield chip it can probably be repaired using a special resin and polishing technique. If the windshield has a crack larger than the size of a dollar bill, Santa Monica Auto Glass Replacement can replace the windshield with OEM quality glass with adhesives recommended by the manufacturer. Count on Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica for an expert diagnosis.
STEP 2 – Removing the Windshield - Extracting the damaged windshield seems easy, but care must be taken not to damage the pinchweld. This is the ridge around the car’s frame that holds the windshield in place. If the pinchweld is damaged the new adhesive may not seal correctly, resulting in leaks and rust corrosion on the vehicle’s frame. Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica uses the latest extraction equipment to ensure proper removal.
STEP 3 – Selecting the Correct Windshield - We know you want the job done right the first time. Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica offers OEM quality windshield glass because it fits correctly and restores the vehicle to its original condition. Most aftermarket windshield glass is made from a copy of a mold of an OEM windshield, not from the windshield’s original mold in the factory. So aftermarket windshields may not be to the exact dimensions or the glass may be too thin. This results in leaks, increased road noise, and possible failure of the glass in an accident. OEM quality windshield glass fits right the first time.
STEP 4 – Applying New Adhesive - An OEM quality windshield deserves OEM quality adhesive. Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica uses only quality adhesives by Dow and Sika, the same ones the vehicle manufacturers use. The proper adhesive is applied to the vehicle’s pinchweld and the edges of the windshield.
STEP 5 – Installing the New Windshield - Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica follows installation procedures by the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) Council. Many Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica shops have earned the AGRSS certification, which includes following a 20-point checklist. The most important factor in a proper windshield installation is following the recommended drive-away time. The adhesive must be allowed to set, or “cure,” for a specific time before the vehicle may be safety driven. Otherwise, the windshield may move in the pinchweld and will not properly seal to the frame. If the vehicle is in a wreck the windshield could pop out, exposing the occupants to greater risk of injury. For your safety, please follow the drive-away time instructions.
STEP 6 – Reviewing the G12 Windshield Replacement Guarantee - With G12, if an OEM-quality replacement windshield that a Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica franchise has installed is damaged or broken within 12 months of the replacement date, Auto Glass Repair Santa Monica will repair or replace the windshield glass only at no additional charge to the customer.
