I've been in the Auto Glass business since 1990. You are one of the extremely rare individuals who take the effort to do all the little things correctly. Vehicle protection, pinchweld cleanliness, primer, correct glue and good looking glue bead, gloves and suction cups so no contamination to pinchweld or glass grit. I've seen over a thousand other techs work and it still amazes me how many do not do the job correctly at all. Thank you for reaffirming me there are still guys out there like myself who do it correctly. One small bit of advice. When the body putty/bondo/filler gets exposed at body joints under the original glue bed I like to lay a small bead of urethane over that joint and smooth over entire joint so no water can work its way in that isn't covered by new glue bead.

So, 15 years in the "Auto Glass business" and you are calling urethane adhesive/sealant "glue"?
@DenDemp2234 жыл бұрын
smoke14 I’m confused by the point of your comment but I’ll respond anyway. First- 1990 was 30 years ago not 15 If you do the simple math. Second- Yes I called it glue. Urethane, adhesive, glue, are common words used everyday.in auto glass that I’ve heard and used over the last 3 decades and by thousands of techs in several states. While I’ve primarily done autoglass my whole career, I’ve also done for many years and still do on occasion commercial/ residential. Adhesive, glazing compound and glue are several terms used there regularly as well. Again, I called it glue in casual conversation. If I was writing a tech article or bulletin, which I have written several, I would specifically use the term urethane.

@@bigelile07 You've never heard anyone call it glue? Alfredo calls it glue multiple times when applying the primer in this video, but you've NEVER heard ANYONE call it glue. That means you're just digging through KZbin comments to be annoying, because you obviously didn't watch this video. There's plenty of hobbies out there brother. You don't have to be the old salty retired auto glass tech trying to flex on people on the internet.

Bro, we need more people like you. You take so many precautions to ensure a professional finish with no scratches on the car or dash. Thank you for taking pride in your work, most windshield replacement companies just rush the process and take no precautions. Keep doing what you're doing man. 10/10

We have to do this. If we don't prime minor scratches it will rust. We have to take this very seriously because if you're in an accident your windshield supports your air bag, keeps you in the car in a roll over and keep you from getting crushed by the roof in a rollover. Your windshield plays a part in structural integrity of your car.

Alfredo, This is Rich with ZGLASS & ZG3 Systems. I have watched a lot of Videos in my 40 years in this crazy Auto Glass Business, but I have never seen anyone do an installation this well. I am very impressed! The thing that is most impressive is the care you take to do the job right. I thought I was a fairly good technician but after watching your video you are without question one of the best technicians I have ever watched. I met you at the Glass Show in Reno and even though I thought the competition was not a true representation of the work that is actually done in the field, I have to say in your case, the work you do appears to be the same in the field or in the competition. It is rare to see the same quality service performed on a daily basis that you would see in a competition. I am from Illinois, and after watching your video, I think I might just drive to California if I ever need my own personal windshield installed. Very impressive. I am glad you are not my competitor, you would be hard to beat! In fact I don't think you could be beat. I think the best I could hope for is a tie!!! Awesome job. You make me proud to be an Auto Glass Technician! --- Rich

I've been doing this for 25 years plus and the only step extra that I do is after the original ureathane is removed I clean the pinchweld with glass cleaner and a lint free towel and then I prime any bare metal spots. the reason I do this is to make absolute sure there is no dirt and debris before I prime. not many people in our profession take these steps to do a proper installation , Great Work ethic !

Agrss recommends clean the pichweld before trimming the old urethane back. Nothing is more clean than a freshly trimmed bead. If u wipe over the trimmed urethane, u can actually make it less clean.

Good job man, I own a repair shop and I would love to see this quality of work from the guys that come here. Unfortunately it's up to the customer who they want to hire and they always go with the cheapest and they get what they pay for, cut urethane, remove broken window, no prime, run bead of urethane, stick in window, add 2 pieces of yellow tape. That's what $150 gets you. This guy is a $300-$400 replacement because it has to be with all that overhead and time.

My only problem is that you didn't replace it with a new one. I carry this clip with me at all times and a lot of others as well because I know it could break or the last guy didnt replace the broken or missing clip. Having said that I still think you are a very good installer! I've installed glass for many years and not seen the professionalism that you have. Also the guts to video yourself installing. Truth is as an installer myself, I have learned by watching your video. Thanks buddy, keep up the good work!
