Our customers are advised to wait 24 hours after the windshield is replaced before going through a car wash. The chemicals and water pressure may affect the installation. The higher pressure of the water spraying your car can wreck the auto glass seal and outer mouldings if they have not completely cure yet.
But nevertheless should there be any rain or water, it isn’t an issue on newly replaced auto glass, so don’t fret if there’s forecast calls for a bit of downpour. In fact, a bit of moisture can actually help the adhesive cure faster.
