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. |
> FAQ......Back Glass
What we would call a normal mobile auto glass installation usually takes from 30 to 90 minutes. Installations that take longer than 90 minutes are what we classify as difficult installations. For obvious reasons it is not practical for us to do these types of installations in the field so they do not qualify for our Mobile Service. As a rule they require that the installation be performed and monitored for a period of time in our facility. Some of these types of installations are timely because they are done in stages, some of which cannot be accomplished until the adhesive has cured for a minimal amount of time.
Most vertical set windows such as pickup truck back glasses require being held in place by different manners and for many reasons (paint damage being the main one) need to be done in and remain in our repair centers controlled environment until the adhesive cures for a minimum of 24 hours. There are many different types of vehicles out there in todays world and each of them have their own peculiarities. Your customer service representative at Phoenix Glass will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have for your particular vehicle.
Absolutely! Don't touch that mess and risk getting cut. We'll vacuum up your broken glass when we come out to do the job or when we do it at our facility. We do our best to make your vehicle the best we possibly can.
That will depend on the type of window as well as they type of urethane adhesive used to install the auto glass in your vehicle. While most automotive grade urethanes rely on temperature and humidity to cure, the time required varies widely depending on the manufacturer. This time frame can range from 3 hour to 24 hours or more before your vehicle will meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is considered safe to drive. If you need to drive your vehicle sooner, a more expensive chemically cured urethane can be used that will allow a 1 hour drive away time. In either case, it's imperative that you follow the manufacturers' instructions regarding safe drive away times. Not adhering to those instructions could result in your injury or even death.

Along with all that they also understand and use the proper methods that prevent leakage and rust around the pinchweld where the auto glass bonds to the vehicle.

Our Warranty
covers defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own

Due to the method of manufacturing laminated heated backglasses cannot be repaired. Repairing this type of glass can result in serious personal injury. When the heating element is activated the repair can create a hot spot (or short) within the glass causing the glass to explode in that spot sending projected glass shards into the passenger compartment.
