How long does windscreen replacement take

If there is no other damage to the car you will be on you way. Windscreen damage is unfortunate, but fortunately for you Instant Windscreens is readily available to help you get a quick replacement. Our technicians are available across Australia, with branches as well as mobile servicing.

The technician performing the windshield replacement will always have a minimum amount of time in mind, but there are significant factors that affect vehicle drive-away time. In most cases, Auto Glass Express will recommend 60 minutes for a safe drive-away time.

The summer season brings warmer temperatures and higher humidity which means faster curing times for the windshield adhesives. It also means that there is a shorter working time as the application process is quicker. With a quick application and fast curing time, the vehicle can be used sooner than if it were cold temperatures where the opposite is true.

In the winter, especially below 40 degrees, adhesives, cleaners, and primers work at a much slower rate. Technicians may use different procedures for cold-weather installs and adjust their process as well.

In some cases, the adhesives, cleaners, and primers may need to be warmed during the replacement process so they can serve their intended purpose and work properly. In other cases, the technician may use different products altogether based on the temperatures.

Whatever is decided, the minimum drive-away time in winter months is longer than it is in summer months. And it is ultimately up to the technician completing the windshield replacement to determine when everything is safe.
