Safe Drive Away Time is the amount of time your vehicle needs to be out of service to insure that the urethane adhesive used to bond a new windshield with your car is properly cured. Since your windshield is classified as a safety device, it has to be able to provide the same roof crush protection, crash protection and airbag retention that the manufacturer designed into your car.
Keeping a vehicle out of service until all safety devices are properly repaired is covered under federal law through the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. It is a felony to return a vehicle to service before all safety devices are properly functioning.
Urethanes used for windshield installation have Safe Drive Away Times ranging from 1 hour to 16 hours.
At Louis Auto Glass we use exclusively ASAP Urethane from SIKA Corporation. ASAP Urethane has a Safe Drive Away Time of 1 hour. This gives our customers the most convenience and the highest degree of safety possible.
