Step 3: Initial Assessment
When our technician arrives at your location, they will conduct an initial assessment of the damaged windshield. This involves a thorough inspection to confirm the need for replacement and to ensure there are no other underlying issues that need to be addressed.
Step 4: Selecting the Right Windshield
At Sentry Glass Inc., we use only the highest-quality glass. Our technician will install the appropriate windshield for your vehicle, ensuring it matches the original’s specifications for fit, durability, features, and safety.
Step 5: Removing the Damaged Windshield
The technician will carefully remove the damaged windshield using specialized tools to cut through the urethane adhesive that holds the windshield in place, ensuring a clean removal without damaging the vehicle’s frame.
Step 6: Cleaning and Preparing the Frame
After removing the old windshield, the technician will clean the frame to remove any debris or old urethane. This step is crucial to ensure a smooth surface for the new urethane and a secure fit for the new windshield.
Step 7: Applying the Urethane
Next, the technician will apply a high-quality urethane to the perimeter of the cleaned frame. This urethane will provide a strong, secure bond to hold the windshield in place and create a weather-tight seal.
Step 8: Installing the New Windshield
Once the urethane is applied, the technician will carefully set the new windshield, positioning it correctly and pressing it into place. Ensuring the windshield is properly aligned and seated in the frame requires precision and expertise to maintain the vehicle’s structural integrity.
Step 9: Allowing the Adhesive to Cure
After the new windshield is installed, it’s important to allow the urethane to cure. The curing time can vary depending on the type of adhesive used and environmental conditions, but it typically takes about one hour. We advise customers to avoid driving the vehicle during this time to ensure the urethane dries and sets properly.
Step 10: Final Inspection and Cleanup
Once the adhesive has cured, the technician will perform a final inspection to ensure the windshield is securely in place and properly sealed. They will also clean the new windshield and vacuum out any broken glass from your vehicle’s interior, leaving it in pristine condition.
Step 11: Post-Installation Care
After the windshield replacement, we provide you with instructions for post-installation care. This includes guidelines on how long to wait before washing your vehicle and any other precautions you should take to ensure the urethane fully cures, and the windshield remains secure.
Step 12: Follow-Up
At Sentry Glass Inc., we care about our customers’ satisfaction. If you have any questions or concerns, we’re always here to help.
