Can I drive away immediately after replacing the front windshield?

[LeHailey]

You cannot drive away immediately after replacing the front windshield. Generally, you need to wait for 12 hours. The windshield is adhered to the car body with glass adhesive, which requires a considerable amount of time to cure. Therefore, after replacing the windshield, you must wait until the adhesive is completely dry before moving the car to prevent issues such as glass misalignment, adhesive failure, or water leakage caused by insufficient curing. Precautions after windshield replacement: 1. Do not wash the car for three days: Avoid washing the car within three days after replacing the windshield, and remove the tape securing the windshield position after three days. 2. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads: Avoid sudden braking and rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting. 3. Do not drive on highways: Keep the maximum speed below 80 kilometers per hour. 4. Do not open windows for three days after replacement: Avoid opening windows while driving within three days after replacing the rear windshield to prevent the rear windshield from shifting due to wind pressure.
