Auto Windshield Installation

The windshield is not only a window in the vehicle it has many more important attributes. Improper installation, poor quality glass or the wrong adhesive could cause serious problems. The windshield positions the passenger side airbag. If your windshield becomes dislodged because if was improperly installed, the airbag cannot protect the passenger as it should. The windshield is also integral to the structural integrity of the roof.

Urethane, the black rubber-like substance you see around a windshield, is also part of the overall structure of your car. It must be strong enough to hold the windshield to the surrounding body. Its strength increases as the new urethane cures and reaches the adequate strength after several hours, depending on the product used.

When installing a new windshield, many people prefer to have it installed professionally, either by a mechanic or a windshield installation specialist. Alternatively there are people who prefer to install the windshield themselves, either for their own vehicle such as a classic restoration or their "on the road" vehicle.

To help with this there are websites and other resources which allow individuals to get advice and tips on how to install their own windshield.

Some examples of these could be Auto Body Tool Mart or Auto Risk.
