By Brian Morgan


Auto or car glass may include side windows, glass panel roofs, windscreens, and rear windows that are used in vehicles. The operation of side windows may either be done through turning the hand cranks or pressing a button. There are also some other vehicles that have sun blinds for both the rear side and the rear windows. Windshields have the purpose of protecting from debris when running.

A crack or a broken window may possibly lead to bigger damages or may be dangers when driving. So it wold be very important that these must be replaced immediately. You may not have any experiences yet on doing a replacement of broken windows, but with this article, you will be guided on these easy steps of proper installation of auto glass Frisco.

Purchase your new glasses. Most materials which are needed for the replacement can be bought in the nearby stores from the local areas such as in Frisco TX. There are also online retailers selling some needed materials and also those in junkyards. But before purchasing the materials, be sure to take into consideration the important things including the specific type of component such as buying the right model, year, and make of a car.

Remove the items which are being screwed to the panels in doors. Some of these items are door handles, armrests, manual cranks for the window and some other items which are screwed to the door. There are also some cases where in screws are being covered by caps that match the door. Usually, these caps will be peeled out by the use of flathead screwdriver.

Next is removing the panels in the doors. There is a specialized tool which is intended for use when prying up a panel and this can be purchased as well in auto stores. An alternative for this is a flathead screwdriver. This tool will be inserted between doors and panels then pry it. Pry until tabs will be loosened, connecting bottom parts of both doors and panels. Then after prying, lift these parts away. For the power windows, be sure to consider the power motor which is connected to the track. Take note on this before disconnecting the wires.

Remove the old window. Your old window generally is lifted right out. Lift carefully the parts having cracks or are broken. If broken, the small pieces must be removed first. After this, install then the plastic guide into the hole. Perform this method only if necessary.

Slide glass into track. A newly purchased window should slide into the door track. After this step, make sure to reconnect all those electric connections which are disconnected in the previous steps. Reconnect also the hand cranks. Through this, you can be able to test the operations and also, to ensure that there is a smooth replacement.

Replace the panels. Hang first the top of a panel at the top of a door. Get the screwdriver then pop the bottom tabs of panel to its place in the bottom part of door. Then reconnect as well all the disconnected parts of door panels before you will remove it.

These items costs for the replacement are highly dependent on the glass type and on the car type which you would prefer. Another factor that will affect the price is the seller company. Sometimes, people may want to have molded glasses. With this, the costs may be higher.
