Getting a broken windshield is not only a nuisance, but could also be dangerous and more importantly it's also illegal. If someone has a broken windshield, they must take steps to have the windshield repaired or replaced immediately. If you have the skill and tools, you can remove the broken windshield and then replace it with a new windshield. You will need to ensure that you have a new or replacement glass ready to go, and can lubricate the hinges. If the hinges need an adjustment be sure to perform that as well. If you don't feel comfortable performing the work, it is important to have a professional complete it instead. Since the windshield is such an invaluable aspect of your vehicle, it must be installed correctly. The replacement glass will also need to be cut to an exact measurement to ensure that it fits perfectly. It's important to keep the hinges of your windshield tight as well as the nuts that are used to keep the windshield in place. If the windshield is not securely fastened, or the nuts and hinges kept tight, you run the risk of having the windshield break or become damaged due to any slight trauma or movement. ...
... This will also prevent any annoying rattling from occurring in the windshield, a sign that the windshield is not securely set in place and that the nuts affixing the windshield to the cowl brackets need tightening. When replacing a broken windshield be sure to determine what type of glass is being used in the new windshield as well as the best methods for looking after it.
