FAQ
1. When should I replace my windshield instead of repairing it?
If the crack is long, located in the driver’s line of sight, or reaches the edge of the glass, replacement is usually the safest option. In many cases, small chips can be repaired, but larger damage may weaken the structure of the windshield.
2. Is it safe to drive with a cracked windshield?
It depends on the size and location of the crack. Even a small crack can spread quickly due to temperature changes, vibrations, or potholes. A damaged windshield can also reduce visibility and affect airbag performance, so it’s best to fix it as soon as possible.
3. How long does windshield replacement take?
Most windshield replacements can be completed within a few hours. However, the adhesive needs time to cure properly, so we usually recommend avoiding heavy driving immediately after installation.
4. Can you replace the windshield in winter or cold weather?
Yes. Windshield replacement can be done in winter, as long as the work is performed in a controlled environment with correct materials. Proper installation and curing time are especially important during cold seasons.
5. Do you use original (OEM) glass or aftermarket glass?
We work with high-quality windshields that meet safety standards and fit your vehicle correctly. Depending on the car model and availability, we can offer OEM or certified equivalent glass. The most important factor is correct fit, strength, and proper installation.
6. Will my car sensors and cameras work after windshield replacement?
Yes, but modern vehicles often require recalibration after the windshield is replaced. This includes cameras, lane assist systems, rain sensors, and other ADAS features. If your car needs calibration, we will inform you in advance.
7. Does windshield replacement affect the car’s safety?
A properly installed windshield is an important structural element of the vehicle. It supports the roof in case of rollover and helps airbags work correctly. That’s why professional installation and correct adhesive use are essential.
8. Can I wash my car after replacing the windshield?
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before using high-pressure car washes. Gentle hand washing is usually fine, but it’s best to avoid strong pressure around the edges while the adhesive fully cures.
9. Will there be any leaks or wind noise after replacement?
If installed correctly, there should be no leaks, whistling, or wind noise. A professional installation with proper sealing ensures the windshield remains tight in all weather conditions.
10. What causes windshield cracks to spread?
Temperature changes, road vibrations, hitting potholes, and even strong heating inside the car can cause a crack to expand. In Finland, rapid changes between cold outdoor air and warm cabin temperatures are a common reason.
11. Can side windows or rear windows also be replaced?
Yes. We replace side windows and rear windows as well. Whether it’s damage from an accident, vandalism, or break-in, we can help restore the glass safely and professionally.
12. What should I do if my car window was broken during a break-in?
First, make sure the vehicle is safe and remove any loose glass carefully. If possible, cover the opening temporarily. Then contact us — we can arrange replacement quickly to protect your car from weather and theft.
13. Is windshield replacement covered by insurance in Finland?
In many cases, yes. Depending on your insurance policy, windshield replacement may be partially or fully covered. We can assist you with the process and help you understand the next steps.
14. Do I need an appointment for glass replacement?
Appointments are recommended to ensure the correct glass is available for your vehicle. In urgent cases, we may also be able to offer fast service depending on stock and schedule.
15. How do I know which windshield fits my car?
Windshields are selected based on your vehicle model, year, and equipment (such as sensors, heating elements, or camera mounts). We make sure the correct glass is ordered and installed.
16. Can a windshield be replaced more than once?
Yes, if the windshield is damaged again. However, repeated replacements should always be done carefully to avoid damaging the frame or paint.
17. Why is professional installation important?
Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, wind noise, poor visibility, and even serious safety risks in an accident. Professional replacement ensures correct bonding, sealing, and long-term durability.
18. How much does windshield replacement cost?
The price depends on the vehicle model, type of glass, and whether sensors or calibration are required. The easiest way is to contact us for a quick quote — we can provide a clear estimate.
