The smallest rock can cause plenty of damage to your windshield while you’re driving. Sometimes just the chip can be repaired, but often you have to replace the entire windshield. A chip in the driver’s line of vision is hazardous. A small ding may grow into multiple cracks, especially when the area is exposed to temperature changes.
If your windshield has to be replaced, Here are some tips on what to do in the first couple of days. Wait 3-4 hours before driving your car to let the glue start setting up. It takes up to 48 hours to completely dry. Keep the windows a little open to relieve pressure inside the car and avoid slamming the doors. You should wait at least 2 days before visiting a car wash. Most professional installers offer a lifetime warranty on all replacements.
