How long can the car be opened after changing the front windshield? Can it be opened after the windshield is changed?

The front windshield of a car is laminated glass. Sometimes, under the action of external force, the surface glass will be broken. At this time, if the crack is short, it can be repaired; if the crack is long, or the inner glass is also damaged , It cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced. However, for many friends who change for the first time, there are always many questions, such as how long can the car be opened after changing the front windshield? Can the windshield be opened if it rains after it is changed? Let's answer these questions below.

First of all, how long can the car be opened after changing the front windshield? Since the windshield is fixed with glass glue, the glue has a solidification time. How long it can be opened needs to be determined according to the solidification time of the glass glue, as long as it is hardened to fix the glass, it can be used. Some glass glues are quick-drying and can harden and fix the glass in about 1-2 hours, while some require about 6 hours to solidify. At present, the curing temperature of ordinary glue on the market is about 5-40 degrees, and the time to reach safe driving is 24 hours later, so it needs to be judged according to the quality of the glass glue and seasonal factors.

Can the windshield be opened if it rains after it is changed? Generally speaking, after replacing the windshield, a rain test is usually required to check for water leakage. However, this is only a simple and rapid rain test. As the glass glue has a solidification time, rain will affect its viscosity, resulting in poor fixing of the glass, easy loosening, and potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is usually not possible to get wet or wash the car within 3 days, try to avoid bumps during driving, and wait for the glue to solidify before performing other operations.
