Automotive Glass Replacement – How to Replace Car Glass
Automotive replacement window can be made by rookie if he or she takes her time and has some instruction. It requires no special knowledge or tools to replace expensive car glass, but be patient! Here we will discuss the replacement of a fixed automotive glass is attached to the car body instead of being placed in a removable frame.
If you are going to replace car glass is not set in a frame, then, basically, has to “cut” the old glass of the car. This procedure requires some inexpensive tools that are often not in a collection of tools. Need a piece of piano wire for use as a hacksaw, and a pair of cheap suction cup handles to lift the old (if still in one piece) and place the new glass into position without touching the edges of the glass.
The first step is to remove any molding that goes around the window. Molding can be connected in several different ways. May be fixed with some kind of clips, glued, or can simply be inserted into a lip on the vehicle body. This is a place where the factory service information comes in handy! Some glass is flush with the outer surface of the body and has no trim to remove. You may also need to delete one or more panels to fit into the car. Before starting to cut out the window broken, apply tape to the body of the car all the way around the window to protect the paint. Then use a punch to create a hole through the adhesive between glass and body. Then press a piece of piano wire through the hole, grab a helper to work the other end of the wire, and use a sawing motion to cut the adhesive all the way around the window. Once you have completed sawn all the way around the broken car window, use the cup handles to pull the glass of the vehicle body.
