How long should you leave tape on the windshield?

After a windshield replacement, keeping the retention tape on for 24 to 48 hours supports a secure bond while the urethane adhesive fully sets. This protective step helps maintain a strong seal by keeping out dust, moisture, and air pressure changes, ensuring long-term durability.
Washing the car or removing the tape too soon isn’t necessary, as allowing the adhesive to cure naturally enhances the installation. Driving is safe, and smooth handling—such as closing doors gently and avoiding rough roads—further supports a firm and lasting fit.

For expert windshield replacement and installation, Hollywood Car Glass in Los Angeles, CA delivers professional service with a focus on quality and safety.
