When damage to your vehicle's glass exceeds the limits of professional repair, a full restoration of the vehicle's structural integrity is required. Driving with a severely compromised windscreen is a significant safety risk, as the glass contributes up to 30% of a vehicle's cabin strength.
At Ker Auto World, we provide a premier windscreen repair and replacement service , ensuring that every installation adheres to stringent safety standards. Our goal is to return your vehicle to its factory-fresh condition using high-grade materials and precise technical execution.
Overview
What Is Windscreen Replacement?
Windscreen replacement involves removing the damaged glass entirely and installing a new unit that meets factory specifications. Unlike a repair, which addresses a small chip, replacement is a full technical procedure designed to restore proper fit, visibility and structural support.
Our technicians carefully remove the old windscreen, clear away existing adhesive and inspect the frame for rust or damage. We then apply high-strength polyurethane bonding adhesive to create a secure, waterproof seal that supports the vehicle’s structural integrity.
We ensure every replacement is installed correctly so critical safety features, including airbags and roof support, can function as intended in the event of an impact.
How Does It Work?
Our Windscreen Replacement Process
We follow a meticulous multi-step protocol to ensure the highest quality of fitment and safety.
step 1
Vehicle Preparation
Our technicians protect the car's interior and exterior with protective covers before the windscreen glass replacement begins.
step 2
Damaged Glass Removal
We carefully cut the old adhesive seal using specialised tools to avoid scratching the vehicle's paintwork or frame.
step 3
Frame Cleaning & Priming
The pinch-weld (frame) is cleaned of old debris and treated with a primer to prevent rust and enhance the new bond.
step 4
Adhesive Application
A high-strength, automotive-grade polyurethane is applied evenly to the frame.
step 5
New Glass Installation
The new windscreen is precisely positioned and set into the adhesive.
step 6
Curing & Calibration
We allow the adhesive to reach its safe drive-away time and perform ADAS calibration if required.

When to Seek Our Specialists?
When Is Windscreen Replacement Necessary?
While we typically prioritise windscreen repair to save you time and money, certain types of damage make an autoglass replacement unavoidable for safety reasons.
Large cracks beyond repairable length
Generally, any crack longer than a credit card or 6 inches requires a full replacement.
Cracks at the windscreen edge
Damage that touches the outer frame weakens the glass's structural bond and cannot be safely filled.
Damage in the driver’s direct line of sight
To ensure unobstructed visibility, any significant chip or crack in the driver's critical viewing area necessitates a new unit.
Shattered or severely scratched windscreen
Multiple points of impact or deep "wiper scratches" that haze the glass cannot be effectively restored through resin.
Damage affecting ADAS sensors or rain sensors
Modern vehicles with cameras mounted behind the glass require a pristine surface for accurate sensor readings; any damage near these units typically requires a windscreen replacement service.
Caring for Your New Windscreen
What Aftercare Is Required After a Windscreen Replacement?
Proper aftercare is vital during the first 24 to 48 hours to ensure the adhesive cures correctly and the seal remains intact.
Avoid Slamming Doors
The sudden change in air pressure can pop the new glass out of its wet seal; close doors gently or leave a window slightly cracked.
Observe the Safe Drive-Away Time
Do not drive the vehicle until our technicians confirm the adhesive has reached its minimum bond strength.
Leave the Retention Tape On
The blue or yellow tape holds the glass in place while the seal sets; do not remove it for at least 24 hours.
Keep Windows Slightly Open
Leaving a 1-inch gap in the side windows prevents pressure build-up from heat or door closure.
Avoid Car Washes and High-Pressure Water
Water pressure can create leaks in the fresh sealant; wait at least 48 hours before washing your car.
Refrain From Driving on Rough Roads
Excessive vibrations or hitting deep potholes can shift the glass before it is fully cured.
Do Not Remove or Adjust Interior Trim
Leave all mirror mounts and trim pieces as they are until the adhesive is fully hardened.
Watch for Signs of Improper Installation
If you hear a whistling sound or notice water seepage, contact us immediately.
Avoid Using Windshield Accessories Immediately
Do not attach sunshades or dashcam mounts to the new glass for the first two days.
