Corrosion and Windshields

We don’t think of corrosion (sometimes called rust) as a condition that has any relationship to the windshield in your vehicle. Yet, when corrosion is found in the midst of an auto glass replacement, it must be corrected before that installation can be completed.

Corrosion near the windshield is often unseen until the glass in a vehicle is being replaced. The corrosion can jeopardize the ability of the adhesive used to create a bond between the car body and the glass. In fact, the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard (AGRSS) requires that any condition that jeopardizes the safety of the owner/operator be corrected before that installation can be completed.

Sometimes, minor corrosion can be corrected by the auto glass shop itself. In other cases, it may be necessary to consult other corrosion professionals.
