Can the newly replaced windshield be exposed to rain?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to expose the newly replaced windshield to rain. It is recommended to avoid rain and car washing for 3 days for the following reasons: 1. The windshield adhesive requires time to cure, and rainwater can affect its bonding strength, leading to poor fixation of the glass and potential safety hazards; 2. During car washing, workers may use high-pressure water jets to clean the car body, which could dislodge the improperly fixed glass or even cause water damage to the car. Additional precautions after windshield replacement include: 1. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads, sudden braking, and rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting; 2. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the windshield and the dashboard.
