Do you have a classic car or hotrod that has sustained damage to either its windshield or other window? If so, you’ve likely found out that finding replacement glass for classic vehicles is extremely difficult. While you may be able to find replacement glass at a junk yard, how do you know if this glass has not already been compromised?
Luckily, the auto glass professionals at Team Acme have years of experience creating custom windows and windshields for all types of classic cars, trucks and hot rods. In this blog we’ll offer a few tips for those looking to replace any type of auto glass on their classic vehicles.
Repair or Replace?
If your vehicle is over 30 years old and your windshield or auto glass sustains damage, you may be better off replacing the entire piece of glass as opposed to electing to have it repaired. Repairs to cracks and chips in an old windshield or window are not likely to last very long. New custom auto glass is a much better option, not only for aesthetic reasons, but for your safety as well.
Where Can I Find Auto Glass for My Classic Vehicle?
As mentioned above, finding replacement auto glass for your classic vehicle will likely be difficult. This is why the auto glass professionals at Team Acme suggest that you invest in custom glass replacement. Buying a new piece of glass from a supplier that will fit your classic vehicle is likely out of the question. At Team Acme, we offer custom glass replacement services that take into consideration the unique auto glass qualities of classic cars.
Why Classic Vehicles Need Custom Auto Glass?
Many classic vehicles have much different needs when it comes to glass replacement or restoration. This is because auto glass in classic vehicles differs in shape, thickness and structure, compared to today’s more modern vehicles. At Team Acme, our custom class fabrication process allows you to modify your classic vehicle in any way that you see fit.
Each auto glass fabrication done at Team Acme is done on an individual basis to ensure that we meet the needs and considerations of each of our customers. Our team will work directly with you to discuss any ideas and requirements you may have to make sure that the finished product matches the look and time period of your car.
Team Acme Classic Vehicle Window Replacement Process
Each classic auto window replacement that we perform follows the following stringent process.
First, we remove the old window based on manufacturer specs.
Next, we use the old window as a template and outline the glass onto a new sheet of glass and begin cutting the glass to the proper shape and size.
We then smooth all of the glass edges by sanding.
Finally, we install the new glass based on manufacturer specs.
