Typically, it takes one to two hours to complete a windshield replacement. Once installed, additional time is required to ensure the adhesive materials used in the installation process are fully cured.
Here are some considerations that may influence this timeline:
- Type of vehicle: Larger vehicles or those with complex windshield designs may take longer. For instance, replacing the windshield of an SUV might require more time than replacing the windshield of a compact car.
- Adhesive cure time: After the new windshield is installed, a special adhesive is used to secure it. This adhesive requires time to cure properly. Depending on the type of adhesive used, the curing process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours. During this time, avoiding driving your vehicle or subjecting it to extreme temperatures is essential.
- Weather conditions: Extreme temperatures (hot and cold) can impact the adhesive curing process. If it’s too cold, your curing time might be longer. Higher temperatures accelerate the process.

New Windshield Installation
Before installation begins, we remove your existing windshield and surrounding trim, moldings, and weatherstripping materials. Next, we clean and prep the area and gently lower your new windshield into place.
We remove excess adhesive and then set a timer for the appropriate amount of time to create a secure bond between your new auto glass and your vehicle’s frame. Cure time depends on the adhesive required to complete the project. When we help you choose a suitable windshield replacement, we’ll advise you on what to expect in terms of the timeline.
Once the curing is complete, we reinstall any weather stripping, moldings, and trim we removed to access the area.
