Cracked Glass? Fix It Before It Spreads

Fix It Now – Book Service

Did you know that over 75% of windshield installations are done incorrectly? According to ABC’s 20/20, most glass installers do not follow correct procedures when installing glass.

This being said, it is more than likely that your windshield has also been installed incorrectly, and could be dangerous to your safety.  

Here are some signs that your windshield needs to be corrected or even replaced due to a faulty glass installation by an inexperienced serviceman.

Water Leakage:

Water leaking into your vehicle from the seal on your windshield can be very dangerous. This could indicate a poor seal on your windshield, which could mean loose glass!

Bringing your car to our certified installers at Kryger Glass is your best bet. We can seal your windshield and prevent those leaks, ensuring your safety and peace of mind.

The Windshield Isn’t Flush:

It’s never a good sign when your windshield doesn’t sit correctly in its frame. This might be an indicator that your windshield isn’t the right size, or wasn’t placed correctly. This could cause problems down the road and decrease the integrity of your windshield.

Also, if your windshield appears to have a “wavy” look, this means poor quality glass.

Whistling Sound:

If you notice a slight “whooshing” or whistling sound when you’re driving on the highway or at high speeds, this might be an indication that your windshield is cracked or not properly sealed. Get this checked out immediately as it’s a danger to yourself and others.

Suspiciously Fast Service:

Only 20% of glass installers, including Kryger Glass, use Dow Express 30 urethane adhesive. This highly recommended adhesive is the fastest drying urethane in the industry; with a guarantee that your windshield will stay in place 30 minutes after install.

Most other adhesives for windshields can take up to a week to bond to the glass and your vehicle. If your car is claimed to be drivable after a short period of time following installation, chances are that it was done incorrectly. You could be at risk for an unstable windshield.

There are numerous signs for a faulty windshield, and it’s important to recognize them! Call an expert at Kryger today for a promise for safety and assurance of professional service. Kryger Glass does NOT cut corners because the safety of you and your family is our number one priority.

Excellent experience! Called late on Friday of a holiday weekend and got the last appt of the day. Had an unusual glass repair. The manager did an excellent job explaining the repair process along the way. They got it done and had me on my way promptly.

I just wanted this company to know that your clever advertising at a T-Bones game 20 years ago is the only reason I even thought of you when I got a chip in my windshield. It forever was etched in my brain so whoever thought of that, hopefully you’re a millionaire now. Genius. Also, you did great work on my chip!

Very easy to work with. Lowest price by far to replace my windshield since I was paying on my own. 45 mins in and out. No problems since. Wiped down and cleaned the car. Nice waiting room. Highly recommend.

Wow, what a great experience! Having driven in the mountains of Colorado, to Minnesota and to Florida multiple times, wouldn’t you know I get hit with what seemed liked a pretty big rock 10 miles from my home in Kansas while driving south on I-435 S. on June 9th. After checking several sites I decided on Kryger. I got in on the morning of June 10th and much to my surprise, everything was done by the time I finished a leisurely breakfast and even more surprisingly the cost was $60 less than the original estimate. Also it was $200 less than the major nationwide competitor. I hope you don’t need a new windshield, but if you do check out Kryger.

Online quote portal is a waste of time. Despite completing the intake form completely (confirmed by next day call back from your office), the estimate for a windshield replacement for an 11-year old Mazda CX-5 went from $865 to $1,150. If your online portal is going to miss the mark by 35%, you might want to reconsider its value within your current business model. I'd be a bit more concerned with your long-term business objectives vs. short-term margins, as one would have to imagine you'll be insolvent within the next 5-years without additional market share. Cheers to overpriced products and services!

It isn’t just about how the glass looks, though that’s important. It isn’t only about keeping bugs out, though that matters.
