The Windshield Replacement Process Explained
Replacing a windshield requires technical precision and strict adherence to safety standards. Our technicians follow a standardized, step-by-step process for every installation:
Pre-Inspection and Vehicle Protection: We perform an initial assessment and place protective coverings over your hood, dashboard, and interior surfaces to prevent scratches and debris buildup.
Safe Glass Removal: Using specialized extraction tools, we carefully cut the existing sealant and remove the damaged windshield without scratching or weakening the vehicle’s pinch weld.
Surface Preparation and Priming: We trim the old urethane to a uniform layer and apply bonding primers to bare metal spots. This prevents corrosion and ensures a secure seal for the new glass.
Adhesive Application and Precision Alignment: A smooth, continuous bead of advanced OEM urethane is applied before precision-setting the replacement windshield into position.
Safe Drive-Away Time (SDAT): Urethane adhesive requires adequate curing time based on ambient temperature and humidity. We enforce strict SDAT protocols—typically requiring a one-hour waiting period—to ensure structural integrity in the event of a collision.
Insurance Claims and Cost Transparency
Dealing with auto glass damage shouldn’t be stressful. Five Star Auto Glass works directly with all major insurance carriers in Washington State. For drivers with comprehensive insurance, rock chip repairs are frequently covered with zero deductible, as insurers prefer repairing chips before a full replacement is needed. If a total replacement is required, we manage the claims process on your behalf and outline any applicable deductibles before work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer mobile windshield repair in Kent, WA?
Yes. Our mobile units cover all of Kent and neighboring communities. We bring full service directly to your home or office so you never have to drive with a damaged windshield.
Will a rock chip repair pass a Washington State vehicle inspection?
Yes. Professional rock chip repairs restore structural strength and clear visual distortion, meeting all Washington State safety and inspection requirements.
What happens if it rains during a mobile auto glass repair appointment?
Our adhesives and repair resins require dry conditions to cure correctly. If rain occurs and covered shelter (such as a garage or carport) isn't available, we will promptly reschedule or arrange an in-shop appointment.
Do you handle side and rear window replacements?
Yes. Side and rear windows use tempered glass that shatters into small fragments upon impact. We clean all broken glass from your vehicle's interior and door panels, install the new tempered window, and ensure all window mechanisms function properly.
