🌦️ Extreme Weather Service Policy
At Glass Masters Auto Glass, we understand Minnesota’s weather extremes impact auto glass service—from freezing winter winds to blazing summer heat. Our comprehensive policies ensure safe, reliable auto glass installation MN year-round. Below are detailed guidelines for all weather conditions affecting windshield repair Minnesota, windshield replacement MN, and ADAS calibration MN.
❄️ Cold Weather Guidelines
We follow Dow Express 30 urethane guidelines, requiring a minimum ambient temperature of 0°F (-17°C) for high-quality bonding. Below this threshold, adhesive performance degrades, risking seal failure. If temperatures drop below 0°F, appointments may be rescheduled or moved to a naturally warmer window in the day. Proper installation prevents leaks, ensuring your auto glass replacement MN lasts through harsh winters.
🧊 Cold Disclaimer
- Bonding below 0°F risks seal failure and voids warranty.
- Snow, ice, or frost on glass surfaces must be cleared prior to service.
- Customers may provide heated indoor spaces to facilitate service; otherwise, we’ll reschedule.
🔥 Heat Advisory Precautions
Extreme heat above 95°F (35°C) can affect urethane curing and glass handling. We recommend scheduling services early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. Direct sunlight on a hot windshield may warp glass or cause adhesive failures. Providing shaded or indoor parking helps maintain ideal conditions for windshield replacement MN and proper windshield repair Minnesota results.
☀️ Heat Disclaimer
- Adhesive cure time can shorten or bubble in direct sun above 95°F.
- Regularly provide a shaded or indoor workspace to protect glass integrity.
- Appointments may be delayed if immediate conditions exceed safe heat thresholds.
🌧️ Rain & Storm Conditions
Heavy rain or severe thunderstorms pose risks: wet surfaces impede proper urethane bonding, and slick ground endangers technicians. If moderate to heavy rainfall is forecast, we’ll reschedule until conditions improve. Light drizzle may be manageable if the immediate area is kept dry using towels and careful prep. Our goal is to ensure a secure, leak-free installation for your auto glass replacement MN or windshield repair Minnesota even in unpredictable weather.
🌧️ Storm Disclaimer
- Services postponed if sustained rainfall exceeds 0.1" per hour.
- Damp glass can prevent proper adhesive cure; surface must be fully dry.
- No liability for delays due to weather; rescheduling occurs at no extra cost.
☃️ Snow & Ice Policy
Frost, snow, and ice obstruct visibility and create dangerous, slippery conditions. Customers must clear all snow and ice from the windshield, roof, and surrounding areas before our team arrives. If heavy snowfall is ongoing or temperatures remain below freezing, we'll reschedule to ensure your safety and optimal windshield replacement MN performance.
❄️ Snow Disclaimer
- Snow/ice must be fully removed; service will be delayed until clear conditions.
- Temperatures below 0°F require heated garage space or rescheduling.
- Delays due to plow/snow removal are not covered by warranty; coordinate clearing services beforehand.
🧊 Hailstorm Advisory
We do not service vehicles during active hailstorms; flying debris can damage glass and endanger technicians. Post-hail, thoroughly inspect your vehicle for additional dents or cracks. Inform us of any new damage so we can adjust service plans and ensure a flawless auto glass installation MN once conditions stabilize.
🧊 Hail Disclaimer
- Services paused during hail to prevent damage and safety risks.
- Post-hail inspections are performed to verify no additional cracks or chips.
- Insurance claims for hail damage should be filed prior to scheduling service.
💨 High Winds Safety
Gusts above 25 mph (40 kph) increase the risk of debris, unstable ladders, and difficulty securing materials. If sustained winds exceed safe thresholds, we’ll reschedule to protect both your vehicle and our technicians.
💨 Wind Disclaimer
- Services delayed if sustained winds exceed 25 mph.
- Loose debris or unsecured tarps can become projectiles; ensure area is clear.
- Technicians will not work if conditions endanger installer safety or glass integrity.
⚠️ Liability & Disclaimer
- Glass Masters is not liable for weather-related delays or inconveniences.
- No additional fees apply if services must be rescheduled due to weather conditions.
- Customers must provide a safe, weather-appropriate workspace for installation.
