![6 Reasons Why an Auto Glass Professional is Essential](https://www.abraautomidwest.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/abra-16_orig-1.jpg)

 

1. Your car will be prepped to ensure the interior and exterior are protected against debris that could cause damage during the replacement process.
2. Proper molding removal and replacement is essential for a safe leak proof seal when the new windshield is placed.  Specialty tools are used to remove the old windshield.
3. Attention to detail is needed when removing the old glass.
4. Proper priming is needed before place the new windshield.
5. Manufacturer’s instructions need to be followed to set the new windshield.
6. Some windshields today require a ADAS recalibration due to technology.

     
It is not recommended auto glass replacement be done by anyone that is not a certified professional with experience in auto glass replacement.
