has anyone done it
how is it done

 

i paid to get mine done and i watched the process. it doesn't look hard. heres what i remember.

1. the guy first used a razor blade or knife to cut the glue around the rubber surrouding the windshield.

2. he then removed the rubber and set it aside(he put it back at the end)

3. then he scraped as old glue off the car as he could then used the knife to cut around the windshield to free it from the car.

4. He pushed the windshield out of the car and the small crack i had on the windshield got hella big. he used some kind of suction cup things to lift it out of the car.

5. he then put the new one on and put new glue all around the windshield sides and placed the rubber back on top. he smoothed it out and cleaned the excess off with some kind of alcohol? not sure.

6. last he covered the edges with blue painters tape and charged me 180 dollars.

its not a write-up. this is just what i remembered. hope it helps.

 

better off calling a company and letting them do it if its gonna be your first time trying it

 

id rather save a dub and spend it on a hid kit

 

and have serious leaks? go for it.

 

I will only have leaks if I dont do it right

 

my first job was in a detail/glass shop. trust me, your windshield WILL leak if you attempt this with no training. why do you think there is certified courses? you need special tools or youll be there all day wishing you just spent the money. how do you think your going to lift the new windshield in, you need 2 people with huge suction cups, unless your really really fit. and what primer/adhesive combo will you use to seal the window in? get my drift? how much are you really going to save after you go buy a windshield at retail markup, and probably a new moulding, cuz I almost guarentee youll ruin it.

Get a rockchip, go to insurance and pay the deductable, mines 200 bucks, theres no way i could fix it myself for even double that.

 

just jb weld the new windshield on top of the old one, takes like 10 mins and you get double the decal room.

WIN WIN

 

Just pay somebody to do it. It's only like $200, and you know it's done right.

please don't tell me you are from the 626, there's 5 million glass place in LA that will do a nice job for 100 buck, we gotten a 85 dollar accord front shield put on and it's actually quality job.

unless it's OEM, i will not pay 200 for mass produced econo sh-tbox glass

it's one of those if you have to ask then you are not ready thing.

it looks easy, so is rebuilding an engine, just some funny rulers and circle things, right?
