It’s amazing what one can find after removing a windscreen.  A seemingly clean car can surprise even our technicians when they remove the windscreen and find rust underneath.

This poses a few issues, the most important is structural integrity.

Modern vehicles have windscreens bonded to the body with a special adhesive called “urethane”.

This method increases the structural integrity of the vehicle (particularly the Pillars and roof).

Where corrosion is present, the structural integrity may be compromised because the rust can cause the urethane adhesive to fail.

Rust doesn’t have to be very bad, just simply present.

Our glaziers are well prepared to deal with minor surface corrosion on-site, however for severe rust we may refer you to a panelbeater.
