I wish every safelite technician performing the work like this guy does.

Kudos to this guy for doing what he does. I’m 5’ I would struggle to reach even more on a truck.

Usually one gets nervous or uneasy when being watched. I know I do. But this guy done a great job. Had one replaced a couple years ago by same company. Done great👌 Nice car too btw.

I had my windshield replaced today and wanted to watch so badly just to see the process but I had a meeting at the time he arrived so I ended up looking it up. Thanks for posting this, I was so curious!

Just wanted to comment being from the same industry. Kudos to this technician for doing everything by the book. Great asset to that company and a great install.

ive had two windshields replaced with safelite and i always wanted to see how its done!! thanks for this video

very professional, he even cleaned the side windows on the doors. great job indeed.

Thanks for this video. I am having Safelite replace my windshield tomorrow and had no idea what to expect. Great video.

I’m glad it was taken care of properly.

Las Vegas, NV, USA: I'm so stoked you did this! I feel so much more confident now that I know what to expect. My 2017 Forester has only 25K, and a rock cracked the windshield last week on the freeway. I've been researching how to choose a windshield brand and an install vendor. This was great. Thanks so much!

The windscreen spontaneously cracked on my 18 WRX. Getting replaced tomorrow. Wanted to see how they did it, this satisfied my curiosity. Thank you!

Having Safelite come out this afternoon to replace the windshield on my Taurus SHO. Wanted to see how they did it before they showed up. Thanks for sharing!

Love watching how things like this are done. Great job and turned out nice!

This dude did a fantastic job...thank u for posting..

Wow! He did an amazing job! I wish all Safelite employees were as professional as him. In Miami the Safelite employees I encountered were rude and careless. Excellent video!

I work for safelite solutions, it's pretty cool to see what the appt I'm scheduling actually looks like

I just had my windshield replaced three days ago. I was working from home. The Safelite technician arrived at noon; he was done at 12:35. I was like, if I would have known it would be that quick, I would have watched the process…which is why I’m here. The technician in the video showed his professionalism👍🏽

I scheduled Safelite to replace my front window. I’m excited to get this done, personally I like driving my car looking good regardless what year.

Fantastic, professional job. Better than going to a glass shop.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm currently trying to land a job with Safelite and loved being able to see their process. Wish me luck!

He's a pro. Does a great job.

He did a great job, did it the correct way. Video taping is a good way to get a good job done too. I video tape most jobs that I have done by a company....but I try to do most everything myself.

Thanks! Just got back from a successful appointment and I got curious about the replacement process

Awesome job. I have an interview Monday in Paducah Ky and this is definitely something I look forward to doing. 🎉

thank you so much for this video! btw-that's a nice looking Subaru! ☺️

Literally as I am watching this video, I'm watching my RING Cam too🤣. I have a 2016 Chevy Malibu LS... Was curious of the process so this was insightful and helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for recording this I was wondering how they did some of the things because I've never watched the entire process! They did a great job with your car and that tech seems very efficient and skilled.

I need to get my windshield replaced soon, and this video has me sold.

This is the best Safelite Tech I have seen to date. He is very good and detailed...

I use to be a Safelite employee as a tech, best of belron competitor, and manager I would also occasionally help in training guys that were going through Safelites training course to become an installer. Unless times have changed where is this kids chemical resistant gloves, he for sure wasn't wearing cut resistant gloves for either the removal or installation of the glass, most importantly the removal. Especially in Florida where it tends to be hotter climates and glass can fracture or break much easier and he was bare handed lifting that glass up. Prepped the glass barehanded as well and only put a single glove on for shooting a skin on the glass and to smooth the adhesive out. Also is Safelite using primerless glue now? I thought they were using Sika products which require primer if its Mach 30 and Mach 60 I don't think I saw him prime his windshield at all. I also don't think I saw him use a scotchbrite abrasive pad, or sika's, HDX version of the magic erase pads to remove any oils or contaminates from the frit installation area especially handling the glass barehanded and the natural oils in our skin. While using his easy wire tool he only used the dash protector, he didn't use the pillar and headliner protector, I didn't look like he used any type of a positioning clips on the bottom of the glass to hold the wire in place, which is why when the wire tightened up he got out to look to see if it was caught on something before finishing wiring it out. No seat covers, no steering wheel cover. Safelite is funny, I know guys that have lost their jobs for much less then this. These are "compliance violations" and each one were to be considered grounds for termination. I'm not knocking the installer at all, he's not bad with the Safelite tools. It's Safelite period how things are suppose to be consistent through out any region, any market, you're suppose to be able to go over seas and pickup where you left off.... Search KZfaq for installations done by the company "Carglass" they just as Safelite does fall under their parent company Belron and watch a CarGlass installation. Sorry it's just very interesting to me. I fell in to their politics and that is a company I would never return to and work for. I was an award winning employee every year until they started bringing in people from like Walmart, DHL, Fedex to run an automotive business that knew nothing about automotive! But hey as long as their numbers are looking good on paper and in the system I guess it is what it is because that's all they care about. Safelite there is no room for growth either, you land the job you want start making the money you want and when you make a little to much they find a way to take it away or just cut you loose regardless how many years you have invested. Unless there is a natural disaster that strikes then you are all in and it's whatever you want until that runs out too...... Someone show me Safelites turn over rate for employees! I want to see that.

Cool the windshield even had the factory visor tint something I’m particular about having in the replacement.

Awesome job Safelite tech.

Thanx for the vid! Just (like an hour ago) had mine done by Safelite. Originally they said between 12:00 and 5:00. Guy called today and said between 1:00 and 3:00 and he showed up a bit before 2:00. So, that was great. Except the only meeting I couldn't move was at 2.. ;-( So I got him started and went to my meeting. I was wondering what he was doing. ;-) He was very polite and professional and it looks great so far. (I was able to run back out to check it after he had left...)

Nice video, good to see he is using those fiber line cutters instead of just putting a saw blade to the glass and possibly scratching up the metal underneath.

I have a Safelite guy replacing my windshield now. I was curious to see the process, but didn’t want to watch him. He’s not unfriendly, but does seem to be a little introverted. It’s interesting, thanks for sharing.

Very nice video. Very informative.

I'm going to try and replace my own windshield now 🤘🏻🤠

Great job with that install! I'm starting with Safelite next week as an install tech so this video is great! I'm super excited 😁

Wow 😮 very professional

Great job!

I work for Safelite. Most techs are like this. Unfortunately we don't know the bad ones till they show us. If you're nervous about the appointment you can always ask for an experienced tech. Safelite will always work with you, very big on customer service. I like the yellow brakes btw

This was a true professional window installer, I like the way he used the dash protectors and the hood mat before he started his work, these clowns here in New York don't do any of that. Today I'm about to have my third windshield installed because they put it in crooked or installed it wrong twice. Maybe three times as a charm.

Great job

My 21 (17k miles) WRX just got a spider crack from a rock on the 605s FWY in Cali. I have my fix scheduled for tomorrow.

Great video

My QM would freak if I didn’t aktivate in one direction or use nitrile gloves lol but he did an excellent job! Good work 👍

That was a good job he did,

I’ve got an interview for Safelite tomorrow, it’s cool to see the process

What did he take the tape off after installing I thought it were to.remain on ?

I've removed and replaced windshields before. I wish I have that rotary tool for cutting through the urethane. Makes it look so easy. I only have a cold knife and if you aren't careful can scratch the roof or A-Pillar even if you add some scratch resistant tape at the arch of the blade.

This guy is good!

Very nice work

This guy is good. Great company but depend on the servicing technician. I got a lousy one. Hope the company recruits more qualified candidates.

Cool video! Our mdx windshield is bad I’m excited about having it done - online quote was 340 which isn’t bad for at your hosie

just got wack by rock on my brz ts 2020 now i need a new replacement.. they seem to be limited staff as next appoint for me will be like 2 weeks or so.. idk if its not much people working due to pandemic .. hit today in the very side in the middle and now crack is like almost half way due to heat, its going to go across to the other end one lone single crack .... sucks .... going to cost me about 400$... how much was yours ? insurance fix it ?

Thanks! I got my windshield replaced about a year ago. Seems fine, except there is a rattling from the dash at low to regular speed on local roads. Seems to go away on the highway. More pronounced at the driver side, but also sometimes around the center? Do you experience anything similar? I watched the video to try to see if there was anything under the dash near the windshield that could cause the rattle, but I don't see anything other than some yellow wires across the center of the dash, but those look tucked in and wouldn't come loose from an installation.

Can they replace it with a more sound isolating windo i wonder?

my 2019 Civic windshield was shot by a rock coming from semi truck tire. It has 7000 miles and the road is taking its toll so soon. My old civic I put in 150K miles before anything happened to the windshield. Glad to see Safelite does good work without the use of power tools, I was getting scared from watching other videos.

A couple bent fins for a sweet KZfaq video sounds like a deal to me 😎🥳

Getting mine replaced tomorrow and I'm super worried. Hopefully they are as professional as this guy.

helloo thanks for this greate video can u please tell me the name of that tools wich is holdind the wind screen ?thank you very much

Excellent bead !

What do they do with the inspection and emission stickers? My windshield is being replaced this Friday and was wondering what about the stickers on the old windshield?

What is the name of the equipment he uses to swing the glass into position?

where can i get that table to sit the windshield

Was there a post-installation wait time before you could drive it? Some web sites say you have to wait several hours for it to cure. What was your experience?

Thanks for this video. Just What I needed. Mine has a bullseye that needs a new complete windshield. I live in a apartment. Can they do this if my car is parked on the street? Or do you think it's better to go to the shop or maybe have it done in a mall close to me? Thanks

I'm getting mine done today. Hope he is as good as this guy.

I like how this windshield has a tint on top. Do they all come this way? My Honda Civic needs a windshield tomorrow from them and I can't decide if I should go to them or a private shop. I want a good quality windshield

Where was the registration and or inspection on windshield prior to the removable process and how is it replaced thanks

I had a 2019 Forester sport - something hit the windshield at 4000 miles - Safelite did ti for me. Thenthe car got totalled. Replaced witha 2021 Forester sport and guess what happened at 4000 miles? Yep. Back to the same Safelight. Just 1 thing. if you have any kind of Camera-assist (subaru I-Sight, etc) they have to do the work at their shop so they can recalibrate the System. Other than that they do awesome work.

Hello there, great video. I have a question. In the beginning of the video the tech mentioned the windshield didn't say Subaru. Did you have a choice to get a OEM replacement? thx

what cind of spray is that ?

How u set a windshield on a big lifted truck with that lil buddy set up?

Why would you put the seam in the middle of the top of the glass. I would want a continuous bead along the top. Maybe that’s why windshield leaked. But I was told there was some of her issues for the leaking. Went to another glass shop and they let me watch and they ran a continuous bead across the top. Now I know why the leak! Thanks for the video.

Quick question, Do you need to have any type of certification or license to do this type of work? Thank you

That tech know what he is doing

I’m in training to work as a technician for Safelite - I need to remember the steps more, especially the cutting out the windshield part.

How long did that take, start to finish?

I have to go to them Tuesday through Allstate insurance. Idk how your state is but did you have to get a new registration sticker and inspection sticker on your window?

How did he bend your inter cooler fins ? Could that cause more problems with your engine?

Thought about using them for 1 of my cars any issues later or anything leaking thru or going into a car wash??

Are there electronics that are installed to the windshield since they have a defroster?

I’m about to start training to be a technician here it’s looks interesting I’m a bit scared tho lol Been here 5 months now…it’s interesting lol it’s a learning curve.

Great video, how long did you start driving and also go to Carwash after the replacement?

Does it have to be replaced or can it just be repaired? I had window tint on the front and don't wanna pay again for it

Everything I’ve read says that windshield install that are correctly done require wearing gloves to keep hand oils from interfering with adhesive

He did do a good job. But always check reviews for your local area. Don't just go with what your insurance tells you. Your allowed to choose who you want. Just because they do lots of commercials doesn't mean that is the best choice. In my local area the wait time is weeks for replacement, when a few other local companies with better reviews can do same to next day depending on Year make model and availability of the glass. Because of the commercials they are getting more jobs then they can handle in a timely manner. Yes I used to work for Safelite before they started doing commercials and we never told a customer that it would be 2 or 3 weeks before we change the windshield. Again check reviews, or ask your location dealer what company they recommend. And tell your insurance who "You" choose to go with.

Great vid. Side note we’re u get that steering wheel cover?

Imagine if you said yes to OEM glass and the guy starts swearing lol

Will they cut out the inspection stickers from the old windshield?

Did you have whistling from the wind driving on the highway?

Cómo se llaman las herramientas que usas ?

I have to get mine done today and I was curious of the process and how long I was going to have to wait. Lol. I have to go to them. My windshield is $300 + to get replaced and to have them come to me was an additional $50

oem replacement?

I work for safelite, to be master tech you have to do at least 6 or 7 jobs in 1 day, in 1 week has to be 27 or 30, thats crazy

Funny, I have the same Subaru with a crack in the exact same place. Safelite is coming out in a couple of hours and I was curious to see the process.

Any body know where I can buy those tools?

A lot of work went into editing the three camera angles in this video together. Please support this channel by clicking SUBSCRIBE and giving this video a Thumbs UP! Much appreciated! You think that with me not driving the car much this kind of thing would be less likely to happen. I mostly use the STI for 200 mile round trips between Orlando and Tampa once or twice a month. There are lots of trucks on the highways and there's always small rocks bouncing around behind them. I try to stay away from them until it's clear to pass. I heard something hit the glass but didn't know the windshield was cracked until days later. This guy did an amazing job replacing the windshield and I really can't tell it was replaced. If you have a WRX, this is what replacing the windshield looks like. The installer told me he does 8 windshield replacements a day. Hopefully I won't need another windshield for a long time. Thanks for watching!

I hope the local Safelite does this goo of a job on my 21 Avalon Hybrid Limited
