Is there different quality of auto glass? Some glass brands may be different, but this really does not make any difference . If you have an older vehicle like a collectors car, then repairing or replacing anything with OEM parts retains the vehicles originality. Aftermarket glass is manufactured by companies that deal directly with the car manufacturers. What type of windshield glass is best? Laminated glass is ideal for the front windshield because it's super strong. Two layers of glass are fused together by a layer of plastic. In the event of an accident, the windshield should stay intact and prevent the driver from exiting the vehicle. How long does it take to replace a front windshield? When done by a reputable and experienced technician, a windshield repair takes 15 to 30 minutes. Conversely, a windshield replacement takes between 1.5 hours to 2 hours .
