Even though sunroofs are placed at the top of the car, they can still be shattered in a road accident. When your car meets with an accident, the jerk the vehicle experiences, causes the glass of the sunroof to crack and shatter in worst cases.
The sunroof can even break when something falls on it. Though the glasses used in sunroofs these days are meant to handle such shock and tremors, they still cannot withstand these effects after a point of time.
If you have recently observed a crack in the glass of your sunroof, we would suggest you get it examined by our experts before it causes any further damage.
Steps Involved in Replacing the Sunroof
If you visit our auto glass technicians at Imperium Auto Glass, you will see that our team adheres to the following steps while replacing the sunroof:
- Removal of damaged glass
This is the first and most important step of the process. Our experts ensure that every piece of broken glass is removed safely from the glass frame as well as from inside the vehicle. Even if a small piece is left behind, it can prevent the new glass from fitting properly. If even a tiny piece of glass is left inside the car, it risks the safety of your passengers.
- Removing the old seal
Removing the old seal from the glass frame is very important. This is done using specific solvents and thin razor blades. The solvents dissolve the sealant and a thin razor blade can come in handy while scrapping off the tiny portions of the old seal. If the old seal isn’t scrapped off, the new glass won’t be fixed accurately.
- Installation of the sunroof
The next and final step of the process is installing and sealing the new sunroof. The technicians place the glass on the roof. Once the glass has been fixed properly, a suitable sealing agent is used to secure the joints of the glass and the roof of your car. The seal also protects your vehicle from external elements.
Once the glass is sealed perfectly, you’re ready to use your brand-new sunroof.
