    Always make sure to follow all the instructions! Last time I forgot to enter the car through the windshield and the brand new windshield fell off of the car the next day!

    Tip from experience roll ur windows down !!!! If u close the door with all the windows closed there is a possibility the the pressure build up will cause the windshield to actually pop out

      That makes no sense. You must’ve just installed it wrong. No car is pressure sealed like a plane is.

      Just had my windshield replaced (still doing the job at the glass place) I asked him and he also confirmed you need to roll your windows down.

      @@iziahchavez4040I’m at a window repair place right now and he agreed with the guys statement. He said if the interior gets too warm while the glass is bonding it can cause it to move even slightly that can effect the seal of the window as it sets

    Just wanna say that I'd bee on disability if I used a manual caulking gun! With around 800 windscreen replacements per year my best friend in the world is my Milwaukee M12 caulking gun! And a long blade for those parts where the window knife, or pull knife as we call it here is usually faster than a wire, unless you have a car, like some Skodas and Wolkswagens where the knife just won't fit then I use an Aegis Solo Cut 2 composite wire cutter.
    But those are personal preferences! All in all a very good video, and I snorted out loud about the mandatory "enter trough windshield"

    When you said you "mask off the area" is it absolutely needed? As in if, later the material was snagged out on accident by say... a sun visor... Would it cause a leak with its absence? Asking for a friend...lol

    What urethane did he use? Can you provide a link please to one you recommend? Would this process be pretty much be the same for a side rear quarter window? Mine has just randomly fallen off my ford focus. It only appears to be held in place by the urethane.

      You would probably get away with just the black urathane and taping with painters tape so it doesn’t slide with setting.

      Junk yard. But most likely you can find people in your area that do it for around 100 used and 200 new. That how it’s down in Jax fla. don’t go to safe light. Moonlight glass and company.

      @Anthony_aus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not really, the tools and glass cost for doing a job like this one will cost you just as much if not more than just to get it done professionally. It only takes us around 40 minutes to do a job like this and then the windshield has to sit for 30 mins before drive away. Most people have insurance for this stuff anyway.

      ​@@Anthony_ausUnless, like me, you had the tools to cut the windows for years (stripped & scraped plenty of cars & also taken a few windows out in junkyards). You can get them for less than $10 at Harbor Freight. Bought a long knife for less than $20. I had a good windshield I cut out of another car years ago. For popular cars you can also get windows/windshields from restoration parts suppliers.

      They have to pay labor, operating expenses, glass costs with freight etc, taxes, payroll taxes and try to turn a large profit so they'll stay in business.
      Glass is really expensive right now.
