Once the new windshield is obtained, the next step is to remove the old one. Begin by removing any trim or moldings around the windshield, being careful not to damage them. Use specialized tools to safely and gently pry the old windshield away from the frame, taking care not to cause any further damage to the surrounding area.

With the old windshield removed, thoroughly clean the frame and ensure it is free from debris or adhesive residue. Applying a primer to the frame can help create a strong bond with the new windshield adhesive. Then, carefully position the new windshield, ensuring it aligns properly with the frame.

Finally, use a high-quality windshield adhesive to secure the new glass. Apply the adhesive evenly along the entire windshield perimeter, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Apply even pressure to ensure a strong bond, and allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure before driving the vehicle.

A smooth windshield replacement process requires careful inspection, proper removal of the old windshield, thorough preparation of the frame, and the use of high-quality adhesive during installation.
