Getting a windshield replacement is an investment in your vehicle and personal safety. That’s why it’s crucial to make sure the installation is performed properly. Fortunately, even if you don’t know much about auto glass, there are a few simple ways to check that you received professional service.

How to Determine a Proper Window Replacement

1. Source Your Glass

Do you know where the glass for your windshield replacement came from? For the best fit and value, check that your auto glass is a model that comes from the original manufacturer of your car. Some mechanics and glass companies use aftermarket glass to cut costs, but reliable professionals source directly from the vehicle manufacturer.

2. Check That Your Windshield Is Waterproof

Spray your windshield from every angle to assess whether it is properly waterproofed and will hold up in inclement weather. If you notice leaks, return to the glass shop and have them address the issue.

3. Note Whether the Glass Whistles

When you drive down the highway without music, heat, or air conditioning on, you should hear only the quiet sound of your engine. A high-pitch noise may indicate your windshield replacement was not properly installed, leaving cracks for air to seep in. 

 

Follow the steps above to check your windshield replacement and ensure your car is road-ready.
