When
Phoenix Glass replaces a windshield,
Betaseal/Essex adhesives are used to install windshields on nearly every domestic vehicle and two thirds of all vehicles manufactured worldwide to help restore a vehicle to its original strength and retain a windshield during a crash.
Not all adhesives have the strength required to allow the vehicle safety systems to perform correctly.
To assure that the windshield is replaced properly it's absolutely imperative that the correct adhesives as well as adhesive primers are used. |

That's a question we hear almost on a daily basis and an easy one to answer. At Phoenix Glass we only sell top quality OEM and OEE autoglass products. We back them up with best OEM adhesive system on the market today and we top them off with the best autoglass technicians available to install them. The key to the above package is that our customers end up rewarding us by providing our company with a wonderful reputation and after it's all said and done our customers, by word of mouth, become our sales and advertising staff which saves us a minimum of $90,000.00 per year. Phoenix Glass is not a franchise company that has to add extra monies to your bill to generate funds to pay a franchise fee every month. Depending on the franchise chain the company belongs to, the fees range from $4,000.00 to $8,000.00 per month, adding up to as much as $96,000.00 of your hard earned customer dollars per year. Another downside to dealing with a franchise or chain store type company is that they use their buying power to contract with auto glass supply companies who offer them the lowest bids for products and supplies. Often times these supply companies are off brand manufacturers of questionable low quality auto glass as well as questionable low quality adhesive materials. The reality of it all is that someone has to pay for big business and in most cases it's you the consumer.
With Phoenix
Glass, You get what you pay for and more! Phoenix Glass doesn't participate with any Auto Glass Networks or TPA companies that require a monthly payment in order to obtain business from them. That saves us at or around $800.00 per month, per company, which adds up to $9,600.00 per year.
99% of the time they sure are. There are many options on vehicles these days. It's difficult to tell but some windshields are heated and have a variety of options in or on them from rain sensors to heads up displays. For example windshields are available in a variety of different color schemes such as a windshield with a green tinted lower and a blue shade band across the top or blue tinted lower with a green shade band across the top. Then there are custom logos on the glass such as Fords Mustang logo or a F250 logo embedded into the top of the windshield. The options available to you will depend on the type of vehicle you have. Side windows are getting to be as complicated as windshields in that some have logos and antennas built into them as well as different tint options and possibly the option of being made from laminated or tempered glass. Backglasses these days also have many options such as logos, tint colors, defrosters, antennas, third break lights, rear wipers, laminated, tempered and even in some cases air spoilers. All that being said sometimes it's difficult for us (especially over the phone) to obtain the correct price for your specific vehicle. The Customer Service Representatives at Phoenix Glass have the very best, most up to date software and data on hand and use it as well as their many hands on years of experience to do their best to walk you through the process of correctly identifying your auto glass options.
A clip kit is a package of parts that contains anywhere from 8 to as many as 50 necessary clips and or fasteners that maybe required to install your new or used auto glass window moldings. Often times the plastic clips and/or fasteners in your vehicle are sacrificial and may not be reusable due to age or because there just isn't a method available for removing them without destroying them.
In some cases it can be done by what we call "a hackers method" of bedding the molding in an adhesive called urethane, the same glue used in the bonded installation of your windshield. The end result of doing a job like that is should a problem develop down the line such as a minor leak or a later windshield replacement your costs will go through the roof. In most instances it makes the moldings sacrificial which can cost from $30.00 to over $300.00 to replace "not including the cost of the new windshield". On average a clip kit costs $12.00 to $18.00 and is by far the best way to go, not only does it save you money in the long run, it can save you a significant amount of drama that can arise from not purchasing one in the first place.
