Can you replace the windshield on my older vehicle?

Regrettably, we are unable to offer mobile windshield replacement services for vehicles over 20 years old. This is due to the potential environmental damage to gaskets, clips, and moldings over time, as well as the likelihood of hidden rust and other unseen issues. As our services are 100% mobile, these issues can be time-consuming to address in an outdoor environment. For vehicles older than 20 years, we highly recommend opting for glass replacement in an “in-shop” setting. This allows for a thorough examination and resolution of these issues in a safe and dry environment, away from the elements. We therefore suggest reaching out to your preferred body shop for auto glass replacement.
