Tips for Windshield Replacement in Orlando, FL
Welcome, fellow drivers! If you’ve ever experienced the thrill of cruising down the streets of Orlando, you know that our sunny state comes with its fair share of windshield challenges. If you have experienced a chipped or cracked windshield before or if this is your first time, the expert professionals at Orange Blossom Auto Glass are here to help you through the windshield replacement process.
The Dangers of Driving With a Broken Windshield
Let’s start with the basics — don’t delay in having your damaged windshield fixed, as a small chip or crack can limit your visibility and compromise the structural integrity of your vehicle. This can pose a risk to you, your passengers, and the occupants of other vehicles on Orlando’s busy streets.
Windshield Repair vs. Replacement: What To Consider
If your windshield is damaged, it’s important to address the issue immediately. However, it may not be readily apparent if your windshield can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced. If you need additional support when deciding whether to repair or replace your windshield, contact our professionals for assistance; we’ll gladly discuss the options with you.
When deciding between windshield repair and replacement, it’s important to ask yourself the following questions:
- How large is the area of damage?
- How long ago did the damage occur?
- How does the damage impact your visibility?
In some instances, when the damage is minimal — such as a ding or small, contained chip — windshields can be repaired. However, these instances are rare. Typically, you will need to have your entire windshield replaced to fix any damage.
Regardless of whether you decide on repair or replacement, fixing your windshield comes with no out-of-pocket expenses. In Florida, insurance companies are required to waive all comprehensive policy deductibles for both windshield repair and replacement.
The Windshield Replacement Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
Whether you’re dealing with minor damage or significant cracks, the steps to a proper windshield replacement remain relatively consistent.
First and foremost, it’s essential to contact a reputable windshield replacement service. Think of it as selecting a family doctor — you want someone you can trust with the expertise and experience to get the job done right.
Once you schedule an appointment for windshield replacement, Orange Blossom Auto Glass will reach out to your insurance company. Orange Blossom Auto Glass is approved by all major insurance companies, who recognize our excellent reputation and commitment to quality service.
To get started, your technician will first remove the old windshield. This includes getting rid of all of the trim surrounding the windshield and disconnecting any sensors associated with your car’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). At this point, the old windshield will be taken out. Glass or debris may get into the interior of your car; if so, the technician will be sure to clean it up.
To get your car ready for the new windshield, the technician will first clean the pinch weld, the part of the car to which windshields are attached. Then, the technician will mount and secure the windshield, being sure to use a proper seal and adhesives so it stays in place.
From there, the technician will calibrate your windshield. This is the process of reconnecting parts, cameras, and sensors associated with your car’s ADAS, such as a blind spot monitor or adaptive cruise control, to ensure they’re working correctly. The parts need to be properly aligned for these crucial safety features to work. Calibration involves not only repositioning and reconnecting these components but also testing them to ensure they’re functioning properly after the windshield replacement.
After the adhesives have dried and the calibration is complete, your vehicle should be safe to drive immediately.
Orange Blossom Auto Glass offers a lifetime warranty on all our work. If you experience any issues with your newly replaced windshield, we will correct the problem at no additional cost.
