Does the shop replace moldings or reuse the old ones?
Sometimes the moldings get torn, bent, or broken when they are removed from the old windshield. Sometimes they are to old or brittle and need to be replaced. Either way you should know if you will need to replace them or not. If new moldings are required, they should be quoted in the price. Many OEM windshields come with the molding attached form the factory. 6. Does the shop remove the bottom cowling? If the cowling is not removed, the bottom of the windshield must be slid into place. This smears the wet urethane making a big mess, which in turn makes for a very poor seal. There is no longer a proper bead of urethane that makes a good bond to the car body, just a thin smear that may or may not bond. 7. A one or two man job? If you have a small to mid size car, one installer can usually handle the installation. If you drive a minivan with a large windshield or a tall pick-up truck, its best to have two installers. 8. What kind of warranty or guarantee does the shop offer on workmanship
