Before the start of the post, I would like to say that some of my personal thoughts on the front windshield, the first one is about whether the front windshield should be safe? From my actual understanding, if out of danger, the premium in the coming year will not be higher than the price of the front windshield, it will affect the discount, so if the current discount is relatively low, it is not recommended to go out of danger, only on behalf of personal point of view, there is another, that is, should it be covered by glass insurance? In fact, it is very simple, a glass insurance does not have much money, but you have to consider whether you will be out of danger, I do not intend to risk, it is better not to go up, so some insurance companies will send front windshield, this is better.
I bought a total of three cars, and the first two cars often ran on the highway. I also experienced pebbles hitting the front windshield, but in the end, all the original glass was saved, but the luck of the express group was not so good. Before the epidemic, on a certain highway, an overtaking car on the right hit a stone and hit it right on the glass of my car. Of course, this was found in slow motion by watching the video afterwards, if you deal with it. It’s very tortuous, and I don’t think the injury is particularly serious, and I just put on the front windshield, so I decided not to change it for the time being. Fortunately, the injured part is the copilot, which does not affect safe driving. One more thing here, I gave away glass in my insurance, that is, a piece of front windshield, and I wanted to wait until I had to change it.

The scenery is good. Let’s go first.

So the bamboo charcoal dog that I had kept in the trunk for a long time came in handy, blocking the broken glass all the time, out of sight and out of mind. This is just the beginning. Later, in a car wash, unexpectedly, the glass, which was not seriously damaged, burst, which was finished and had to be replaced.

I checked with the glass store before I went. Do you have it in stock? At the same time, I also confirmed the model of the windshield with him, because the rain feeling of my car is a little different from the ordinary one.


The shop that changes glass is very famous, avoid advertising here is mosaic, as far as I know, basically most of the glass is produced and installed by his family after sale. And it is also a partnership with a lot of 4S stores.

This is the security code on the glass.

Be sure to make sure the rain bracket is ready for replacement.


The first thing to remove is the wiper.

After that, the rearview mirror, high-speed ETC and driving recorder were removed one after another. The trouble is that ETC also needs to go to the ETC network to reactivate.

The original glass was removed and the two masters cooperated. It looks very skilled, which is important because the glass frame may be broken. The cracks in the front windshields of previous cyclists were broken, and then they all rusted. So be careful when this must be dismantled.


This is the rain feeling of the original car glass, and this needs to be removed.


The preliminary work is completed and the clean-up begins.

Then began to glue, black glue.

Glue like a sealing strip takes a whole circle.


Just remove the rain and install it on the new glass.


The whole replacement process is about an hour or so. Including early photos. The construction process is about 40 minutes.

The follow-up will be fixed with trackless tape, which will take at least three days to remove, and you need to pay attention to not washing the car for three days.

By comparison, the first and most obvious thing is that Skoda is missing. The other is the effect, the level of manual operation is certainly different from that of the machine, but it is acceptable.


Finally, after the change, the boss told me an amazing news. He said that you can also replace the remaining four pieces during the insurance period, which is equivalent to five pieces of glass sent by the insurance company. Tell me about the price of quick dispatch to replace the windshield. If you replace it at your own expense in a glass store, it will be about 900 yuan.
