Does replacing the front windshield affect the car?

Proper replacement of the front windshield does not affect the car; however, improper installation may cause the adhesive and the windshield to not fit tightly on both sides, which could have an impact. Below are some related details: 1. Improper replacement of the front windshield may result in wind leakage through the gaps between the windshield and the car body during high-speed driving, increasing interior noise. When driving on bumpy roads, there may be rattling or knocking sounds from the front of the car. 2. After replacing the front windshield, to prevent wind or water leakage, avoid washing the car for three days and remove the adhesive tape securing the windshield only after three days. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads to prevent the windshield from shifting. 3. After replacing the rear windshield, do not open the windows while driving for the first three days to prevent the rear windshield from shifting due to wind pressure.
