Auto Glass Replacement Frequently Asked Questions
Deciding between repair and replacement depends on the size, location, and severity of the damage. Small chips (smaller than a quarter) or short cracks not in the driver’s line of sight can usually be repaired. Larger cracks, damage that reaches the glass edge, or any impairment of visibility typically require full replacement. If the damage affects the glass structure or compromises safety systems like airbags, replacement is always the safer choice.
A typical windshield replacement takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Standard vehicles often require about 45–60 minutes, while models with sensors, heating elements, or complex designs may take longer. Additional time may be needed for adhesives to cure properly and for recalibration of safety systems.
You should wait before driving to allow the adhesive to cure and ensure the windshield bonds securely to the frame. Many installations require 30–60 minutes before the car is safe to drive, but in some cases, waiting several hours or even up to 24 hours is recommended. Always confirm the exact “safe drive-away time” with your technician.
Most comprehensive auto insurance policies cover glass repair or replacement. Some plans include full glass coverage, meaning you pay no deductible. Coverage terms depend on your provider and policy details, so it’s best to confirm whether your damage is covered and if there are specific shop or repair requirements.
Auto glass replacements generally use either OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or aftermarket glass. OEM glass matches your vehicle’s original specifications and usually provides the best fit and performance. Aftermarket glass can be less expensive but may vary slightly in thickness, clarity, or sensor compatibility. For vehicles with ADAS or other advanced systems, OEM or high-quality OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) glass is often recommended.
