When to Consider A Windscreen Replacement

When you need a windscreen replacement, it’s typically due to severe cracks, chips or damage that obstructs your view or compromises your vehicle’s structural integrity. If the damage is larger than a coin or in your line of sight, a replacement is usually the safest option. Here at A Vision Windscreens, we can assess the damage to determine whether a repair or full replacement is necessary.

Expect a smooth process that starts with a thorough inspection of your windscreen. Our team will carefully remove the damaged glass, ensuring no harm to your vehicle’s frame. We’ll then install a new, high-quality windscreen using advanced adhesives for a secure fit. The process typically takes a few hours, allowing time for the adhesive to cure.

Once the installation is complete, we’ll guide you through post-replacement care, like avoiding car washes or rough roads for a short period. With our professional service, you’ll be back on the road safely in no time.

The Windscreen Replacement Process

At Vision Windscreens, we make the windscreen replacement process straightforward and hassle-free. It starts with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage and confirm whether a replacement is necessary. Once confirmed, our experienced technicians carefully remove the damaged windscreen using specialist tools designed to protect the vehicle’s frame and interior. This ensures no scratches, dents, or additional damage occur during removal.

After the old glass is safely removed, the new windscreen is prepared and installed using premium adhesives designed for strong, lasting bonds. The replacement glass is carefully aligned to maintain the structural integrity of your vehicle and meet all safety standards. Once installed, the adhesive is given time to cure properly before the vehicle is ready to drive. Before handing back the keys, our team provides clear aftercare instructions to help maintain the new windscreen and ensure your safety on the road.

How long will my windscreen repair or replacement take?

Most repairs are swift and can often be completed in under an hour. Replacements depend on the vehicle type but are always conducted with efficiency and care to get you back on the road promptly.

Is it possible to drive my vehicle immediately after a windscreen replacement?

It’s recommended to wait at least one hour after a windscreen replacement before driving. This allows the adhesive to properly cure, ensuring the windscreen is securely in place. Driving too soon could affect the bond, so it’s best to follow the technician’s guidance for safe timing.

How do I know if I need a windscreen replacement or just a repair?

Determining whether you need a windscreen replacement or repair generally depends on the size, location, and severity of the damage. Small chips and cracks less than a few centimetres in size and located away from the driver’s direct line of sight can often be repaired safely. However, larger cracks, damage at the edges of the windscreen, or any impact that affects the structural integrity of the glass usually requires a full replacement. A professional assessment is always recommended, as even minor damage left untreated can spread over time, compromising both visibility and safety.

How long does a windscreen replacement take?

The time needed for a windscreen replacement can vary depending on the type of vehicle and the complexity of the installation. Still, most replacements typically take between one and two hours. After the new windscreen is installed, additional curing time is required for the adhesive to set properly, which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the adhesive product used and environmental conditions. It’s essential to allow the adhesive to cure fully before driving the vehicle to maintain the safety and strength of the installation.

What should I avoid after getting my windscreen replaced?

After a windscreen replacement, it’s essential to avoid certain actions to allow the adhesive to cure properly and ensure the glass stays firmly in place. You should avoid slamming car doors, removing retention tape, or driving on rough roads for at least 24 hours. Leaving a window slightly open can help prevent pressure build-up inside the cabin, which could affect the new windscreen’s positioning. Additionally, avoid high-pressure car washes for at least two days, as the forceful water jets and cleaning chemicals can interfere with the adhesive seal.

How do I maintain my new windscreen?

Maintaining your new windscreen involves a few simple but important practices. Clean the glass regularly using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Check and replace worn-out wiper blades promptly, as damaged blades can leave streaks or even scratch the surface over time. Avoid pouring hot water over an icy windscreen in colder climates, as the rapid temperature change can cause cracks. Also, park in shaded areas to minimise exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade the sealants and adhesives faster over time.

Is it safe to drive immediately after a windscreen replacement?

It is not safe to drive immediately after a windscreen replacement. The adhesive used to bond the new windscreen to the vehicle requires a curing period to achieve full strength. This period, often called the “safe drive-away time,” ensures that the windscreen is securely attached and the vehicle’s structural integrity is restored. Depending on the adhesive and weather conditions, this time can vary, but it’s commonly recommended to wait at least one to three hours before driving. Your technician will inform you of the specific curing time for your replacement.

Does windscreen replacement affect my car’s resale value?

In most cases, a properly completed windscreen replacement does not negatively affect a car’s resale value. Buyers typically appreciate that the vehicle has a clear, undamaged windscreen, reflecting proper maintenance and safety attention. However, poor-quality installations or inferior materials could lead to future issues such as leaks, wind noise, or structural weaknesses, which may deter potential buyers. Ensuring the replacement is carried out by a qualified technician using high-quality glass helps maintain the vehicle’s value and safety standards.

What happens if I delay replacing a damaged windscreen?

Delaying a necessary windscreen replacement can lead to more serious problems over time. Cracks can expand due to vibrations, temperature changes, and road impacts, potentially obstructing your vision and increasing the risk of accidents. A compromised windscreen also reduces your vehicle’s structural strength, especially during collisions or rollovers, where the windscreen supports the roof and helps airbags deploy correctly. Additionally, police may issue fines for driving with a damaged windscreen if it’s a safety risk. Prompt replacement preserves both your safety and your legal compliance.
