How long does it take to fix a car window?
My neighbors set up this drunken golf game, and they broke my windshield with a golf ball. The insurance has been figured out, but I have to take my car in to get the window replaced. I’m fairly busy at the moment. How long do you think this will take?

I’m sorry to hear that your windshield was damaged, but I’m glad the insurance is all taken care of. Fixing a car window should be a fairly simple process, depending on your car and the weather.
In general, plan for a couple of hours. The installation shouldn’t take too long but the adhesive has to set.
Because this is your front windshield—a very important component of your car—it’s important to make sure it’s done right and not rushed.
Some cars are higher-tech and have special features built into the windshield or connecting to the windshield. If this sounds like your car, budget for a longer amount of time, as this can slow down the process.
Humidity and temperature can also affect the timeframe, so keep that in mind depending on the season and where you live.
Another way to help take care of your car is with good roadside assistance. You can get a membership with the
