Windshield Replacement Services
Professional mobile windshield replacement throughout the Tulsa Metro area
Expert Windshield Replacement
When a windshield is too damaged for repair, Clearview Autoglass provides professional replacement services with OEM-quality glass and proper installation techniques.
Your windshield isn't just a piece of glass — it's a critical safety component that provides up to 60% of your vehicle's structural integrity in a rollover accident and ensures proper airbag deployment.
With our mobile service, you don't need to disrupt your day. We come to your home, workplace, or other location throughout the Tulsa Metro area, bringing the same professional quality you'd get in a shop.
A proper windshield replacement is essential for your safety. We use only high-quality materials and proven installation methods.
When Replacement Is Necessary
Extensive Damage
Cracks longer than 6 inches or multiple chips in a concentrated area typically cannot be safely repaired and require replacement.
Edge Damage
Cracks that extend to the edge of the windshield compromise structural integrity and always require complete replacement.
Driver's Line of Sight
Significant damage in the driver's direct line of sight should be replaced rather than repaired for optimum visibility and safety.
Our Replacement Process
- 1
Inspection & Preparation
We begin by examining your vehicle and windshield damage. We'll protect your vehicle's interior and exterior to prevent any damage during the removal process. Then we carefully tape off surrounding areas and remove all trim pieces.
- 2
Removal of Damaged Windshield
Using professional tools, we safely remove the damaged windshield. This process requires skill and care to avoid damaging the pinchweld (the frame that holds your windshield). We then thoroughly clean the frame to remove all old adhesive.
- 3
Priming & Adhesive Application
We apply primer to the pinchweld to ensure proper bonding. Then we apply high-quality urethane adhesive in a precise pattern that will create a strong, watertight seal when the new windshield is installed.
- 4
New Windshield Installation
We carefully position and install the new windshield, ensuring proper alignment. The suction tools help us place it precisely without disturbing the adhesive. All trim pieces are reattached, and the windshield is thoroughly cleaned.
- 5
Curing & Safe Drive-Away Time
The adhesive needs time to properly cure before the vehicle can be safely driven. We'll provide specific instructions for your safe drive-away time, which depends on temperature, humidity, and the specific adhesive used.
OEM vs. Aftermarket Glass
OEM Glass
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) glass is made by the same manufacturer that produced your vehicle's original windshield. It offers:
- Exact match to original specifications
- Perfect fit and clarity
- Identical thickness and curvature
- Same quality as dealer replacement
OEM-Equivalent Glass
OEM-equivalent glass is made to match OEM specifications but by a different manufacturer. It offers:
- Very close match to OEM specifications
- High-quality at a more affordable price
- Made by reputable glass manufacturers
- Often preferred by insurance companies
We discuss glass options with you before installation. Our goal is to provide the highest quality replacement within your budget and insurance coverage.
ADAS Considerations
Many modern vehicles have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with cameras and sensors mounted to the windshield. These systems include:
- Lane departure warning
- Automatic emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
- Forward collision warning
After windshield replacement, these systems may require recalibration to function properly. We'll let you know if your vehicle requires this service and can provide recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a windshield replacement take?
The actual replacement process typically takes 1-2 hours. However, the adhesive needs time to cure before the vehicle can be safely driven. Depending on temperature and humidity conditions, the safe drive-away time is usually 1-4 hours after installation.
Can I wash my car after a windshield replacement?
We recommend waiting 24-48 hours before washing your car or using a car wash. During this time, you should also keep the window slightly cracked to prevent pressure buildup that could affect the curing adhesive.
Will my insurance rates go up if I file a windshield claim?
In most cases, comprehensive claims for glass damage don't directly impact your insurance rates because they're considered "no-fault" claims. However, policies vary by company, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider.
How do I know if I need calibration after replacement?
If your vehicle has ADAS features (like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, etc.), calibration is typically necessary after windshield replacement. We can check your specific vehicle's requirements and make appropriate recommendations.
