How Complicated Can Replacing a Windshield Be?

For starters, a good technician must be familiar with the specifications for hundreds of automobile and truck models, and understand the correct replacement glass installation techniques for each. The wrong adhesive, or the right adhesive applied incorrectly, can leave a windshield vulnerable to summer heat, winter cold, the stress of high speed driving, and the sudden impacts of collision and airbag deployment.

To further complicate matters, models rolling off the assembly lines today depend more than ever on glass to provide a significant part of the structural integrity of the vehicle. In turn, as glass plays a bigger role in a car or truck's design, professional auto glass installation has become more critical than ever to passenger safety!

That's where the National Glass Association's Certified Auto Glass Technician Program comes in. Consumers who seek out NGA certified installers can rest easy, knowing that their vehicles and their safety are in the hands of qualified technicians in the fast-changing auto glass business.

More than 13,000 technicians have been certified in the United States under the NGA program!
