What Happens During a Mobile Auto Glass Visit?

Back to all articles

The idea of having major work done on your car outside of a traditional shop can feel strange at first. But mobile auto glass replacement is a refined, standard process. Here is what happens when the van pulls up.

1. The Assessment

The technician will inspect the damage to confirm the correct part was brought and verify the condition of the vehicle's frame. They will explain the process and answer any questions.

2. Protection and Preparation

Before any glass is removed, the technician will drape protective coverings over your hood, steering wheel, and dashboard to protect the paint and interior from debris.

3. Removal

The old glass is carefully cut away from the vehicle's pinch weld using specialized tools. The technician will then trim the old adhesive down to a thin, even layer to create a perfect base for the new urethane.

4. Installation

A fresh bead of high-strength adhesive is applied, and the new windshield is set into place. The cowl and trim pieces are reattached.

5. Cleanup and SDAT

The technician will vacuum any stray debris, clean the new glass, and inform you of the Safe Drive Away Time (SDAT)—the required time the vehicle must sit before the adhesive cures enough to drive safely.

Don't wait until it cracks!
