When you own a piece of luxury, its customary to go above and beyond to make sure that you’re properly maintaining your one-of-a-kind possession. That’s why it’s only appropriate to use the best tools available in the industry to repair your exotic vehicles when necessary.
Whether you need to replace the windshield glass, side glass, and/or the back glass of your original vehicle, Team Acme can help. We’ve been replacing auto glass on different types of vehicles for over a decade.
Team Acme has been replacing window glass on everything from Ferraris to Lamborghinis and all sorts of luxury sedans and coupes. We are an AGRSS (Auto Glass Safety Council) certified shop. Did you know the only AGRSS Master Certified tech in the state of Nevada is actually on our team?
Windshield Replacements
The windshield glass is perhaps the most important window in a vehicle since it offers the most protection for drivers and passengers, as it’s part of every car’s safety restraint system. To ensure the most efficient installation, we prefer to use the same glass originally chosen by the vehicle manufacturer.
We replace all types of glass. With windshield replacements, we begin with removing all parts lining a windshield. That way, we can replace the glass while making sure that safety standards, as well as the effective adhesion of the glass are on point.
Team Acme uses urethane as our windshield adhesive so that cars can be driven out of the shop in just an hour without comprising the quality of the installation job. However, it is still recommended that the vehicle be left to sit after the glass is installed, to give the adhesive enough time to completely dry.
Drive-away times are generally determined by which urethane is used, along with temperature/humidity conditions. For high-end vehicles, we use different urethanes, including high modulus or non-conductive. If the wrong urethane is used on a luxury vehicle, it can actually corrode its aluminum, which is why you should leave the job to professionals.
Side and Back Glass Replacements
The side glass of a vehicle requires a different installation process than that of the windshield. These windows are aligned from the front to the back of the vehicle and include both moving and still windows.
After years of experience replacing these windows, Team Acme has gotten the expertise in the steps necessary to install different side glass on a variety of vehicles. For side glass replacements:
- We follow the manufacturer’s process and remove all of the necessary parts carefully.
- Any glass parts that are left attached are removed and any fallen glass inside the car and door panels is cleaned and removed.
- The new glass parts are installed according to factory specs, and all the original parts removed to complete the installation are reinstalled.
In addition to windshield and side glass replacements, Team Acme replaces luxury vehicle back glass, which faces the rear bumper of a vehicle. Since many come with radio antennas and defrosting heaters, we are also careful with using the right methods and materials to complete an efficient installation.
