Replacing your windshield correctly is Cornerstone Auto Glass' highest priority. Many different problems can cause a bad windshield installation. One of the worst problems Cornerstone encounters is RUST. Rust is often caused by a bad window installation. When a windshield is replaced, scratches inevitably happen, no matter how careful a technician has been. All urethane manufacturers make primers to cover the scratches so rust won’t start. Some other glass companies do not use these primers because of the time it takes to dry before the urethane can be applied. Cornerstone always applies all primers and adhesion activators required to use with Sika polyurethane products. All Cornerstone Technicians are Auto Glass Safety Council and Sika certified.
When Cornerstone encounters RUST it must be removed before the glass is installed. Minor rust is eliminated on-site with various tools, but if the rust is more extensive you will need to absorb the cost for us to repair the issue. In extreme cases, your vehicle will need to be taken to a body shop for rust removal and paint work. The expense of that repair can cost many thousands, and in some instances, we have seen roofs needing to be replaced because of rust damage.
Using Cornerstone auto glass for all your windshield replacements will help ensure that rust issues won’t occur.
