Can I have my glass replaced at my home or office? Yes, but you should be aware of precautions and limitations on this service. Shops avoid performing windshield replacement outside when the weather is bad. Any time the temperature is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit or the humidity is high, certain adhesives may not adhere properly, and your windshield could leak or lose its adhesion. In poor weather, a reputable company will use a special adhesive that will harden at low temperatures, and set up a temporary shelter to protect your car during installation.
How long will it take to repair/replace my windshield? To repair a small crack or ding (without replacing the entire windshield) takes about 30 minutes. Length of service may vary for a complete windshield replacement, based on the adhesives used, the thoroughness of your technician and "safe drive time" (the amount of time your vehicle must sit to allow adhesives to fully cure making it safe to drive your vehicle).
