Specialized Adhesives and Resins for Cold Temps

Modern auto glass technology has come a long way. Professional glass repair shops in Williston like ours use specialized, high-performance resins for chip repairs and adhesives for full front windshield replacement that are formulated to cure effectively even in cold temperatures. While the curing time might be slightly longer than in warmer weather, our certified technicians are trained to use these materials correctly.

Controlled Environment is Key

For optimal results, especially with a full windshield replacement, a controlled environment is ideal. This means bringing your vehicle into our shop, where we can regulate the temperature to ensure the adhesives bond perfectly. This controlled setting protects the work area from wind, snow, and extreme cold, which can interfere with the bonding process.

Mobile Service with Precautions

If coming to our auto glass repair shop in Willison isn't an option, our mobile auto glass repair service is still available in colder months. For windshield repairs, our technicians use portable heating tools to warm the glass and resin, ensuring a proper cure. For windshield replacements, while we can perform them mobile, it often requires extra precautions like temporarily warming the vehicle's interior to ensure the adhesive sets correctly.
