Windshield Replacement Aftercare
Thank you for choosing Low Price Auto Glass & Tint. Here’s how to care for your new windshield after your appointment, plus what to know about your warranty and camera calibration.
Before you drive home
Before leaving, confirm your safe drive-away time with your technician. Follow the time given for your vehicle and the adhesive used; the care periods below are not a drive-away time.
After installation
The first 24–48 hours
Leave the blue 3M tape on for 24 hours
Wind noise can occur while the tape is installed. After the 24-hour period, remove the tape before reporting a wind-noise or leak concern.
If paint peels when the tape is removed, this is considered a paint/finish issue and is not the responsibility of Low Price Auto Glass.
Wait before washing your car
Avoid hand car washes for 24 hours and machine car washes for 48 hours.
Allow pressure to release
Keep one side window slightly open (approximately ½ inch) for the first 24 hours.
Your installation warranty
- Lifetime warranty against air and water leaks related to the windshield installation.

About chip repairs: Chip repair is intended to help stop damage from spreading. It is not a cosmetic repair, and the chip may remain visible after repair.
ADAS & camera calibration
Many vehicles have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Lane Departure Warning and other camera-based safety features.
After windshield replacement, camera calibration may be required by the vehicle manufacturer depending on the vehicle and system.
Low Price Auto Glass performs applicable calibrations in-shop.
If a recommended or required calibration is declined, Low Price Auto Glass is not responsible for error messages or ADAS performance issues resulting from the vehicle being operated without the applicable calibration.
