Aftercare Tips for Your New Windshield
Your new windshield is installed, but there are a few simple things you should keep in mind after leaving the shop.in order to keep you safe and protect your new windshield:
Wait
Follow the Safe Drive-Away Time that your technician will calculate for you. We will let you know when it is safe to drive your vehicle. This gives the adhesive time to reach the proper strength.
No Car Wash
Avoid automatic car washes and high-pressure washing for at least one week after installation.
Close Doors Gently
Avoid slamming your doors for the first 24 hours. Excessive pressure inside the vehicle can affect a fresh windshield installation.
Wait to Tint
Search engines like sites that regularly post fresh content, and a blog is a great way of doing this. With relevant metadata for every post so search engines can find your content.
Drive Carrefully
Use caution while driving on rough or uneven roads or railroad tracks over the next couple to prevent unnecessarily twisting your vehicle's body.
Leave the Windshield Alone
Avoid placing stickers, dash cameras, or other accessories on the new windshield for at least 48 hours unless otherwise advised.
Watch Your Wipers
If your existing wiper blades are old or work, they could scratch your new windshield. Consider replacing your wiper blades during or after install.
