We can help you determine which solution is best for
your auto glass damage needs.
EXPRESS Glass Difference
Your windshield is an integral part of the vehicle's
structure. It provides structural strength to your car body,
helps keep passengers inside the car in the event of an
accident and supports the proper performance of the vehicle
airbags.
PGW's
OEM Glass
PGW's automotive replacement glass is made with the same
control standards, manufacturing processes, tooling and
quality inspections used for PGW's original equipment (OE)
parts.
As a result, PGW replacement windshields and tempered parts:
- Fit closer to original equipment
- Look more like original equipment
- Meet the same safety standards as original equipment
- Have the high optical quality as original equipment
Better fitting equipment such as is available from an OEM
manufacturer such as PGW means there is less likelihood of
wind noise, leakage and appearance problems.
A windshield that is chipped or cracked will not provide
optimal protection while driving. Left untreated, windshield
damage is likely to spread, causing impairment to your
driving view and unsafe driving conditions.
There are two basic causes for damage to laminated auto
glass.
- Impact: This is the most common and
occurs when an object strikes the windshield.
- Stress or Twist: A crack occurs
when a windshield is twisted, either by flexing within
the vehicle frame or because of improper mounting.
The introduction of chemicals and equipment in 1972 that
were designed specifically to repair damage on laminated
windshields has led to the subsequent development of
sophisticated tools and superior resins. This, in turn, has
enabled windshield repair to achieve the following, if
performed by a trained professional:
- Improve the optical clarity by reducing the visible
damage
- Re-create a smooth surface to prevent interference
with the wipers
- Prevent the original damage from spreading further
- Add strength to the damaged area
- Retain the original seal by saving the windshield
Windshield Repair
Windshield repair is safe, effective, and convenient and
typically takes 30 minutes to complete.
Windshield repair is also a good value. If you have
comprehensive coverage, and if you choose to have your
windshield repaired rather than replaced, most insurance
companies will waive your deductible, leaving no costs for
you.
Windshield Replacement
Quality windshield replacement involves a
multi-step process and use of sophisticated adhesive
systems. The amount of time required for a quality
installation will also depend on the existing weather
conditions. Be sure to ask the installer to provide an
estimate, including safe drive away time—the amount of
time a vehicle needs to sit before it is safe to drive
again.
