If you have decided to repair or replace your auto glass, then you have probably already come up with a list of things that you need to do. This list is a good one, as you want to ensure that your car is safe and roadworthy once you are done with the job. Of course, there are a few things that you can leave to a professional to ensure that your car is safe and roadworthy after the job is complete. These include checking the overall safety of the glass, either before it is installed or after it has been installed and making sure that the glass is installed properly.
On that note, here are the most common mistakes committed during an auto glass installation:
Incorrect Measurements
One of the biggest mistakes that you can make when it comes to auto glass installation is the incorrect measurements. This means that you may end up with very dangerous gaps around your car that can cause a lot of issues on the road. To avoid this, you should make sure that you get the measurements of your car exactly right and this should include the gaps around your car.
Using the Wrong Adhesive
You also need to make sure that you use the right adhesive when installing your auto glass. You should not use any adhesive that can damage your car or cause any issues with its overall quality. Most auto glass installers will tell you which adhesive to use for the job, so if you do not have an idea of what to use, you will have to ask them the most crucial questions.
Using the Wrong Sealant
You should also make sure that you use the right sealant when you install your auto glass. This is to ensure that your seal is not damaged and that it will continue to work as you wish it to. Most auto glass installers will give you the sealant that you need and tell you when to use it.
