BMW M3 Gets A Custom Carbon Fiber Roof

BMW M3 Gets A Custom Carbon Fiber Roof

Another day, another window replacement job working at Sublime Restorations in South Hampton, NH.   The owner of this 2003 BMW M3 was having a carbon fiber roof installed. The roof was custom-made in house at Sublime Restorations. In order to have the roof done, the vehicle needed to have the windshield and rear window glass removed and reinstalled. We really enjoyed helping the staff at Sublime Restorations doing an awesome job with this custom work!

Built For Speed: 1996 Porsche Carrera

Built For Speed: 1996 Porsche Carrera

Here’s a look at one of our latest projects – a windshield replacement on a 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera. We performed this job on site through our friends at Sublime Restorations in South Hampton, NH. The Carrera’s windshield has the antenna built into it. Since the connection for the plug is in the upper dash, we needed to use extra care when performing this replacement, because part of the dash needs to be disassembled to plug in the antenna.

Ready For The Rain: 2011 Mini Cooper

Ready For The Rain: 2011 Mini Cooper

This job took us and our van up to Georgetown, MA to work on this 2011 Mini Cooper. Doing this windshield replacement took some extra care, as this vehicle comes equipped with a rain sensor. The rain sensor is mounted in contact with the inside of the windshield, near the rearview mirror, and works by projecting infrared light into the windshield. If water droplets are on the glass, the infrared light is scattered, and the wetter the glass, the less light makes it back into the sensor. This tells the software in the sensor to turn on the wipers, and to set the speed of the wipers based on how fast the moisture builds up between wipes. Insurance for this replacement was handled by Farm…

Better Rot Repair: What Goes Wrong and How You Can Take Control

Better Rot Repair: What Goes Wrong and How You Can Take Control

Living in New England exposes your car to extreme weather conditions, which can lead to rust and rot. What you probably did not know, however, is that improper window repair could lead to premature decay by exposing unprotected steel. When damaged glass is removed during windshield replacement, bare metal can be exposed in the pinchweld. The pinchweld is the area in the car window where the windshield or back glass sits. In order to ensure quality auto glass repair, it is important to prime these exposed spots during an installation to prevent any moisture or contaminants from damaging the pinchweld. Unfortunately, many auto glass repair companies skip this crucial step in order to save time and money. Here at Titan Auto Glass, we make sure…

The Future of Car Headlights

The Future of Car Headlights

One of the difficulties involved in night driving is the glare from headlights of oncoming vehicles. Auto designers and engineers are tackling this problem by developing smart headlight systems that will automatically adjust their focus according to traffic conditions. In this article in Endgadget, they show how the headlights’ feedback system continuously looks at what your headlights are doing, detects vehicles headed towards the car and disables the range of light that’s directed at the oncoming driver, even on high-beam settings. Other ideas include engaging safety features (such as automatic braking) if the headlights detect obstacles in the road. These features, combined with advances in smart windshield technology that automatically trigger windshield wipers in case of rain and incorporate heads-up-displays for driver information, are part…

You Have The Right To Choose!

If you call your insurance company to file a claim for windshield repair or replacement, you may think the person you’re speaking to works for the insurance company. However, many insurance companies will forward your call directly to a third party group, often one that own an auto glass company. When you need to get your auto glass replaced, you have the right to choose which auto glass shop you want to work on your vehicle. Insurance companies and agents will often try to steer you towards their preferred provider, but always remember; you have the right to pick any shop you wish to replace or repair your auto glass regardless of what insurance companies or agents might scare you into thinking. It’s always best…

Removing the Wipers During a Windshield Replacement

Ever watch them replace the windshield on your car? If you haven’t, the next time you need a new windshield, watch what happens. If the repairman is doing his job correctly, you’ll see him remove the windshield wipers and cowl, not just push them back out of the way. This is incredibly important in order to get the proper seal. If the wipers are left in place, the installer has to jam the windshield in at an angle, something that might impact fit, and impede a safe install. If you need your windshield or other auto glass replaced, you can be sure that with Titan you’re getting the absolute best quality work. Titan Auto Glass is located in Woburn MA and we serve all of…

Why Contact a Local Company for Your Windshield Replacement

Why Contact a Local Company for Your Windshield Replacement

Last month, Governor Charlie Baker asked Massachusetts residents to patronize local businesses and sought to turn Valentine’s Day into Valentine’s Week to help local retailers, restaurants, and other firms recover some of the business lost to the snow. If you need a windshield replacement, consider calling a local firm. (Even if it isn’t Titan.) While you would think that automotive glass replacement is impervious to the weather, local glass shops have also taken a hit. People have been staying home with all the bad weather and the number of replacement calls has dropped significantly. And, if we don’t work, we don’t get paid. Support your local businesses. If you need your windshield or other auto glass replaced, you can be sure that with Titan you’re…
