What to Expect: Our Windshield Replacement Process
We keep the process simple and transparent. Here's exactly what happens from first contact to driving away safely:
Step 1 — Contact Us for a Free Quote
Call or text
949-613-3083, or fill out the quote form on this page. Tell us your vehicle year, make, and model, describe the damage, and let us know whether you prefer mobile or in-shop service. We'll give you a straight quote — no pressure, no bait-and-switch pricing.
Step 3 — Removal & Preparation
The old windshield is removed carefully using industry-standard tools, protecting your vehicle's trim, dashboard, and paint. The pinch weld is inspected, cleaned, and prepared for the new adhesive bond.
Step 2 — We Source Your Glass
We source OEM and OEE windshields for your specific vehicle. Edgar will explain the difference and recommend the right option for your make, model, and budget. If a windshield arrives with a defect — even a small chip — we send it back and source another. We don't install compromised glass.
Step 4 — Installation to AGRSS Standards
The new windshield is installed using Sika SikaTack ASAP+ direct-glazing adhesive — the same urethane system Edgar trained on to ANSI/AGSC/AGRSS Standard 004-2018. Proper adhesive application and cure time are critical: your windshield is a structural component that must bond fully before the vehicle is safe to drive.
Step 5 — ADAS Calibration & Safe Drive-Away
If your vehicle has a forward-facing camera system, we perform ADAS calibration before you leave — in-house, using Autel diagnostic and calibration equipment.
We confirm safe drive-away time based on adhesive cure requirements and current conditions. You're not leaving until the job is done right.
OEM vs OEE Windshields — What's the Difference?
This is one of the most common questions we get, and it deserves a straight answer.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass is made by the same manufacturer that supplied your vehicle's original windshield. It matches factory specifications exactly — thickness, curvature, tint, and any embedded features like rain sensors or heating elements.
OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) glass is manufactured to the same specifications by a different supplier. For most vehicles, OEE glass is indistinguishable in quality, fit, and safety performance from OEM — and it costs significantly less. Edgar will tell you honestly which option is right for your specific vehicle and situation. For most daily drivers, OEE is the smart choice. For certain vehicles with precision-fitted features, OEM may be worth the difference.
Every windshield we install — OEM or OEE — comes with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturer defects and water leaks.
Why Certified Installation Matters for Your Safety
Not all windshield replacements are equal. The glass matters — but the installation matters more.
Edgar completed the Sika AGR Technician Training Course to ANSI/AGSC/AGRSS Standard 004-2018, covering retention system training, OEM installation procedures, adhesive mechanics, and auto glass safety requirements.
That standard exists because a windshield installed incorrectly — with the wrong adhesive, improper preparation, or insufficient cure time — can fail in a collision.
Your windshield contributes up to 60% of your vehicle's structural rigidity in a rollover and supports proper airbag deployment on the passenger side. A proper installation isn't a detail — it's what makes the replacement actually safe.
At Shine City, every replacement is performed to that standard. No shortcuts, no subcontractors, no anonymous technician dispatched from a call center.
Does Your Vehicle Need ADAS Calibration After Windshield Replacement?
If your vehicle was manufactured in 2018 or later — and many older models as well — it likely has a forward-facing camera mounted near the rearview mirror. That camera is the eye of your vehicle's ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), controlling lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alerts, and adaptive cruise control.
When the windshield is replaced, the camera's position and angle relative to the new glass changes. Without recalibration, those systems may misread lane markings, fail to detect vehicles or pedestrians, or trigger false alerts. Recalibration is not optional — it's a safety requirement.
Shine City performs static and dynamic ADAS calibration in-house using Autel diagnostic and calibration equipment. We handle it on-site as part of your windshield replacement appointment — not outsourced to a third-party shop days later.
