We’ve enjoyed a warm and dry fall in Minnesota this year, but the cold is coming, and with it snow, ice, and other winter hazards. If your windshield becomes a victim of an errant rock or other debris flying off the back of a plow this winter, it’s important to get your windshield repaired promptly. Here’s why.
The longer you wait to get your windshield repaired, the worse the damage gets, especially in winter. Why? Cold can cause chips and cracks to expand and shatter. So, if your windshield is chipped or cracked sometime between November and March, give mobile glass repair company Glass Source a call to schedule your windshield repair or replacement. Our team can replace your chipped or cracked windshield even when it’s freezing outside.
Cold Weather Windshield Replacement
Replacing a windshield in freezing temperatures is different from replacing a windshield in mild temperatures. Cold weather windshield replacement requires an experienced installer who understands how cold affects adhesives.
Most adhesives take longer to cure in colder weather. For this reason, your Glass Source mobile windshield installer may use a fast-acting adhesive in the winter, or ask that you wait a little longer to drive your vehicle so the adhesive has a chance to cure. However, you don’t have to worry about whether or not the adhesive will take. Glass Source uses a product that works as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit, something our competitors cannot provide.
What to Expect at Your Mobile Windshield Replacement Appointment
At Glass Source, cold temperatures don’t prevent us from fixing your chipped or cracked windshield. To keep temperatures warm, we may ask to work on your vehicle in your garage or in the parking ramp at work. If needed, we will use your vehicle’s heater to keep the windshield warm enough to work on. Otherwise, you can expect the same level of professional, efficient service you receive from our team in the warmer months.
Cold temperatures are no reason to delay getting your windshield replaced. Don’t let those chips and cracks fester and grow this winter. Schedule your mobile windshield replacement appointment with Glass Source today.
