Windshield Replacement FAQs — Stratford
How long does a windshield replacement take in Stratford?
The install itself is usually under an hour, but the adhesive needs a safe drive-away time — often 30 minutes to a few hours depending on the urethane and weather. A Stratford shop will tell you exactly when it's safe to drive.
Will my insurance cover a windshield replacement?
If you carry comprehensive coverage, glass is typically covered minus your deductible — and a few states waive the deductible entirely. Ask the shop to verify your coverage before the work.
Do I need ADAS calibration after replacement?
If your vehicle has a forward-facing camera mounted on the windshield, yes — it must be recalibrated so features like automatic emergency braking and lane-keep aim correctly. Many Stratford shops do this in-house.
