Many car owners think that a car window repair requires high technical skills to accomplish the task. Nevertheless, it is workable to learn do-it-yourself task and yet become expert in it. Doing it on your own and carry out the task satisfactorily could help in uplifting your self-esteem, not to mention saving your hard-earned money. Some auto related jobs will demand competency before taking over the project but with car window replacement, you can embark on the task right away provided you have the right tools. The following are the simple steps you can follow to get your auto window repair done:

  1. The first step will require you to clean the repair spot. The area should be concrete to make the clean-up simple or if it’s not, stretch out a tarpaulin before embarking.
  2. With the correct tools at hand – screwdrivers, masking tape, painter’s cloth – you can start unfastening the door handle or the armrest using your screwdriver. The inner section certainly follows.
  3. Next is to take care of the moisture barrier. It should be done with great caution as any wrong move or damage can lead to a more complex problem, which means another costing. Take your time while working on this part. It is possible to fix this with tape, clips or screws.
  4. The next thing you have to deal is the actual glass door that was damaged. You have to be very extra cautions because the glass could hurt you if not handled properly. Again, take your time and avoid being aggressive dealing with the glass. Make certain you have fully removed the glass wrecks before vacuuming.
  5. When everything is ready, bring in the new glass window and set it fittingly on the track. Use a pin to put the glass into proper place.
  6. Check the window or move it to ensure that it fits correctly. Don’t assume anything. You have to maneuver it to make sure everything works properly.
  7. Now you can start putting the other parts back – window barrier, the panel, armrest and finally the door handle. Again, check your car window if it’s properly working.

When it comes to do-it-yourself car window repair, never presume anything without checking and testing it. Don’t rush. Following procedure precisely will keep you way from getting hurt and additional expenses.

Lastly, don’t forget to clean up the glass wrecks to avoid further injury to family members or visitors. Doing car window repair on your own is truly a fulfilling and could be a fun experience.
