The duration of a
windshield replacement typically ranges from 60 minutes to about an hour and a half, depending on various factors. However, it typically takes about 60 minutes or less for most vehicles. This timeframe allows skilled technicians to complete all necessary steps, including removing the old windshield, preparing the frame, applying new adhesives, and installing the new glass. The process may take slightly longer for newer vehicles equipped with advanced sensors or cameras integrated with the windshield.
The replacement procedure involves several steps, starting with removing the old windshield and preparing the frame. The technician then applies new adhesives and carefully installs the replacement glass, ensuring proper alignment and sealing. While the actual installation can be completed relatively quickly, it's crucial to allow additional time for the adhesives to cure properly. Regardless of the exact installation time, it's recommended that vehicle owners wait at least one hour before driving after the replacement is completed. This waiting period ensures proper adhesive curing and optimal windshield security.
