Free rust and rot repair from Titan Auto Glass is a service performed during the course of a windshield replacement.
As vehicles get older, over time, the weather and debris buildup can cause them to rust and eventually start to rot. What people may not know is that an improper auto glass installation can speed up this process. How is that? During the removal of your damaged glass, bare metal can be exposed in the pinchweld (the area where the windshield or back glass sit).
To save time and money, some glass companies will skip an important step of “priming” these exposed spots to prevent any moisture or contaminates from harming the pinchweld. Rest assured, Titan Auto Glass always primes any spots during an installation to ensure your vehicle’s pinchweld stays damage free for years to come.
The above pictures are of an actual customer’s vehicle. The pictures show a step-by-step process we take at TITAN Auto Glass.
The first step is to clean the pinchweld. This is done by removing the rust and rot down to bare metal.
The second step is to clean the bare metal of contaminates. This ensures a leak proof bond which improves safety, durability and flexibility.
The third step involves applying a specialized primer to prevent the rust and rot from returning. Once this whole process is completed, the technician has a much better base to which they can apply the urethane (acts as a glue).
Did we mention that this is a free service provided to TITAN Auto Glass customers? Most shops will say there is “nothing we can do” or worse and charge for the service without any warranty.
Not convinced? Call around and ask other auto glass shops if they are providing this service for free or if they even provide a warranty for rust and rot repair.
