What to Check After a Windshield Replacement

After replacement, inspect the glass for obvious distortion, check that trim is seated, and confirm that the windshield is free of loose debris. Ask when the vehicle can be driven safely.

If your vehicle has windshield-mounted cameras or sensors, confirm whether calibration was required and how it was completed. Warning lights or driver-assistance messages should not be ignored.

Follow the technician's cure-time instructions and contact the installer promptly if you notice wind noise, water leaks, loose molding, or unusual visual distortion.
