Types Of Car Glass Used For Auto Glass Installation In Windshield Replacement

Posted on August 12, 2019 by blogger

If windshield repair is not feasible any longer, you will have no choice but to agree to windshield replacement. To make the most of your windshield replacement, though, you should know about the various types of car glass used in auto glass installation. These are dealer car glass, original equipment manufactured (OEM) distributor car glass and aftermarket car glass, with each one having its own pros and cons.

The most expensive kind of car glass is dealer glass which is made available from authorized car dealerships. This means your dealer glass will depend on the brand of your vehicle. Dealer glass is made by the manufacturer of your vehicles own car glass and bears the stamp of the brand. It is actually your vehicles original car glass. Those who never want to veer away from anything original and branded will choose nothing else but dealer glass.

Similar in quality to dealer glass but much less expensive is original equipment manufactured (OEM) distributor car glass. It may not be made by the original manufacturer of your vehicles car glass but its manufacturers are authorized to produce car glass according to the exact specifications of dealer glass. That means they have the same durability, size, thickness, color and shape as dealer glass. Manufacturers of OEM distributor car glass are highly respected in the automotive industry and their products are highly regarded as being of the highest quality, which is why they are trusted by vehicle manufacturers. The most well known manufacturers of OEM distributor car glass include Pilkington, Carlite, Pittsburg Plate Glass (PPG), Safeguard/Mopar, Ford, AP Tech, Asahi, Sekurit, Triplex, Scanex, Sicursiv, Guardian and Crinamex. If you decide on using original equipment manufactured (OEM) distributor car glass, make sure you stick with the reputable brands.

The previous statement is a warning of sorts. After all, there also are sources who claim to be OEM distributor car glass manufacturers but also produce substandard car glass alongside their OEM glass. Do not trust labels that say “from an OEM manufacturer” unless the car glass is specifically labelled as original equipment manufactured (OEM) distributor car glass.

The least expensive car glass is aftermarket car glass which is also referred to as original equipment equivalent (OEE) car glass. Its manufacturers are not legally authorized to make car glass according to the specifications copyrighted and licensed to vehicle brands. Aftermarket car glass, therefore, differs from dealer glass and OEM glass. It is also not covered by the same guarantees as dealer glass and OEM glass, and has been known to have a variety of problems including having a bad fit, leaks, visual distortions, poor solar performance and lack of protection against wind noise.

In comparing the three types of car glass, it is evident that original equipment manufactured car glass is the best option for consumers. You get all the benefits of dealer glass for much less dollars. In terms of quality, OEM glass exceeds even the standards of the US Department of Transportation. While the DOT calls for 80 percent windshield retention during frontal barrier crash tests, OEM glass provides a hundred percent.

When choosing OEM glass, also use OEM distributor car glass parts and adhesives for safety. In the case of mobile windshield replacement, for instance, low quality parts and adhesives are sometimes used. The prescribed drying time for the adhesive is also usually not observed, leaving the vehicle driver and passengers at risk with a windshield that is not properly fixed in place. Only professionally certified auto glass technicians will be knowledgeable enough on all standards that should be met in terms of products and techniques.

Whatever car glass you choose for auto glass installation in your windshield replacement, make sure all components and service providers pass the highest safety standards.

Choosing The Right Car Glass For Your Windshield Replacement

Posted on January 29, 2019 by blogger

Sometimes, windshield repair is no longer enough and you just have to go for total replacement. If you ever need to have windshield replacement or any other auto glass installation, you will have to choose from three types of car glass. There is dealer glass, original equipment manufactured (OEM) distributor glass and aftermarket glass.

Dealer glass is the most expensive type of car glass. This is what you get from the authorized car dealership of your automobile brand. It is expensive because it is made by the exact same manufacturer that produced your vehicles original car glass and it usually bears the stamp of your car brand. Those who just need to have everything branded will not go for anything less than dealer glass.

Original equipment manufactured distributor car glass means original equipment manufactured car glass. It is identical to dealer glass and has exactly the same specifications, including thickness, color, durability, size and shape. The only difference is that it is made by a different manufacturer.

Manufacturers of original equipment manufactured car glass are contracted by the different car brands and are authorized to produce car glass to those exact specifications. Most are well-respected in the industry and their product is recognized as being of equal quality as dealer glass. Among the top OEM manufacturers are Pilkington, Pittsburg Plate Glass (PPG), Carlite, Ford, Safeguard/Mopar, Asahi, AP Tech, Triplex, Sekurit, Sicursiv, Scanex, Crinamex and Guardian. Keep the list as a handy reference for when you need to check your car glass choices against them.

There may be some unscrupulous OEM manufacturers, though. Be careful of claims that the glass is “from an OEM manufacturer”. Unless the glass itself is described as OEM glass, it may be substandard glass which just happened to be produced by an OEM manufacturer.

Aftermarket car glass, also called original equipment equivalent (OEE) car glass, is manufactured by companies who are not legally authorized to make car glass to the exact specifications copyrighted and licensed to car brands. Aftermarket car glass, therefore, has specifications different from your cars original glass. This may include variations in thickness and quality. Of course, it does not have the same guarantees as dealer glass or original equipment manufactured glass, and may have imperfect fit, leakage, optical distortion, low solar performance and wind noise.

In comparison, therefore, original equipment manufactured car glass is your best choice. It has all the qualities of dealer glass but at a much lower cost. In fact, original equipment manufactured car glass is made according to standards higher than those of the Department of Transportation. Whereas the DOT requires only 80 percent windshield retention in frontal barrier crash tests, original equipment manufactured car glass has 100 percent.

It is imperative that certified auto glass technicians work on your auto glass installation. They should be knowledgeable on the auto glass manufacturers specifications and instructions.

Aside from making sure that OEM car glass is used for your vehicle, you should also make sure that OEM auto glass parts and adhesives are used. This is for your utmost safety. With mobile windshield replacement, for example, you are sometimes made to believe that your car is ready to be driven in a while. The problem is that inferior adhesives may not dry in time, leaving you unprotected in case of an accident. Even with the use of an OEM adhesive, you should check the safe drive away time indicated in the product. Furthermore, demand lifetime warranty on auto glass parts and workmanship.

Whether for car glass, glass parts or adhesive, or for auto glass installation services, always put safety first.

Installation Guide Of Eonon Gm5163 Car Dvd

Posted on November 8, 2018 by blogger

I finally completed the upgrade (more like transformation) from the D5115Z to the Eonon GM5163 Car DVD. From what I can tell, pretty much everything is as good or better than the D5115Z.

First and foremost — installation. This Car GPS Installation is a breeze, and takes maybe 30 minutes if you have all of the tools handy, are familiar with the process, and have a beer in your hand.

What You’ll Need:
10mm wrench (or socket + ratchet)
Phillips screwdriver
Plastic trim removal tool (or a regular flat screwdriver wrapped in a towel).

Installation Steps:
-Disconnect the battery using the 10mm socket/wrench. I typically like to remove the negative cable, because if I touch the wrench to anything (like the frame, firewall, etc), I don’t have to worry about shocking myself because the negative terminal is already grounded to the chassis anyway.

-Using the plastic trim removal tool (or a regular flat screwdriver wrapped in a shop towel or something else soft), slide the tool in the gap between the radio and center A/C vents/clock buttons/hazard lights button. Pry up, popping the vent assembly out of its clips (it pops up and out, toward you). Flip this up out of the way. Be careful not to scratch your vent or OEM radio if you are using a screwdriver (that’s why I recommend the towel).

-Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the 2 screws that kind of face up and out towards you (pretty obvious — there are only 2 screws visible).

-Pull the OEM head unit out. The tabs that the screws screw through bend easily, so I do NOT recommend pulling there. I typically pull on the back of the radio face (I can slip 1 finger straight down behind the face pretty easily, far enough to get a grip on the radio, just inside the tabs I just mentioned). Sorry if that’s hard to understand. You’ll figure it out.

-DO NOT JUST RIP OUT THE RADIO FULL FORCE. THERE ARE CABLES YOU MUST UNPLUG BEFORE YOU GET THE RADIO TOO FAR OUT. You’ll have maybe 6″ of play before you need to unplug. I typically flip the headunit up and back (basically where those vents were). Pretty easy. You’ll figure it out, I’m sure.
Remove the 2 screws in the top of the new radio (your Eonon GM5163 Car DVD player) — the ones with the red mylar ribbons attached to them. These screws will prevent discs from going into the DVD/CD slot if you do not remove them, so TAKE THEM OUT!!!

-Plug in the couple wire bundles, GPS antenna (if you opted for that), etc. into the back of the headunit. It’s pretty obvious where everything plugs. The red CANBUS box will plug into the GM5163’s wiring harness. Don’t forget that — it’s important.

-Plug the big wiring harness fom the car into the reddish-brown female plug of the Eonon unit, and the small square-ish plug into the Eonon hardness, too. Gently ease the unit back until it sits flush with the dash, tucking wires away as you go. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SMASH THE RADIO INTO THE DASH TO GET IT TO FIT!! If it’s not fitting in pretty easily, pull it back out and try tucking the wires better. Make sure everything stays plugged in. Don’t forget you pre-wire the iPod cable if you want to use it.

-Once the headunit is sitting flush, screw back in the 2 screws that hold the unit into the dash, pop the vent assembly back into place, and reconnect the battery.
AUTOMATIC UP/DOWN FUNCTION FOR THE DRIVER’S WINDOW WILL HAVE BEEN DISABLED AFTER YOU HAVE UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY FOR THIS LONG. To reactivate it, roll the window all the way down, holding the button down for an additional 5 seconds, then roll the window back up, holding the button up for an additional 5 seconds. You’ll hear a small actuator “click” sound, and you’re auto-up/down window will work fine again.

-EXTRA NOTE: It’s time to start setting up your radio stations! You can set the tuning frequency for the country you’re in. For example, the US FM stations operate on a 0.2-MHz interval (97.1, 97.3, 97.5, etc). I think the EU operates on a 0.05-MHz interval (97.10, 97.15, 97.20, 97.25, etc). You’ll want to set your country setting PRIOR to setting your stations, as it will reset all of your stations after you change that setting. To set this, hit the Home button (to the left of the CD/DVD slot), go to the 3rd page (swipe over), and the last option will be Settings. Click this, and it’ll be in there. Tinker around for 15 seconds and you’ll find it — I just can’t remember exactly where it is.

-Enjoy your new car DVD GPS!

Nissan 350z Tuning Advice To Boost Performance With Modern Car Tuning Methods.

Posted on April 16, 2018 by blogger

The Nissan 350z is a stunning sports car from Nissan and they have successfully resurrected the | car brand with an exciting model. It has a very dedicated following of tuners and fans with lots of modifications around for it. As the 350z developed it became more and more highly tuned and the lastest engine is a sheer pleasure to drive and is quite tunable reaching 500bhp with the right parts.
So if you are looking to improve your 350z with more power than ever before? Many people are looking into the ever popular hobby of car tuning and making large power gains on relatively normal cars with a minimum of hassle and fuss. Thankfully there are lots of aftermarket 350z performance parts available.
Priorities include hiking the power on the early engines with either an engine swap on the later block Nissan used or using fast road performance parts and beefing up the forced induction to raise the peak power. Handling is actually very good out of the factory on the standard models and most owners content themselves with some simple mods like a modest drop and some slightly larger rims.
For the best tuning results & biggest return on your investment you should go for forced induction cars because they, already are built to handle a larger power figure and with a a remap it is possible to greatly increase the power from 30% to 40% with petrols giving slightly more than diesels. Larger capacity engines generally prove to give a greater return on your tuning outlay with a typical NASP gain of 20% for modest engine work depending on the modifications selected. Typical tuning modifications would include a fast road camshaft, induction kit, sports exhaust, sports catalyst, custom headers and fuelling upgrades as recommended on sites like TorqueCars and Car Tuning Tips.
Beware though because tuning mistakes on the 350z can be costly. There are parts divided into stages of tune with stage 1 meaning a single bolt on part, stage 2 meaning you need 2 or more parts to fully release the power and for competitions the full stage 3 which is not suitable for road use at alldue to the reliability issues and the requirement to use the higher rev range.Remapping the ecu after these mods offers more power and quicker acceleration. Many people have made mistakes tuning their 350z tuning and we strongly urge you to consult a specialist for impartial advice.
We see many people spending lots of money on rather modest powered Nissan 350z, hoping for a dramatic increase in power and ending up with an uncomfortable and noisy car instead. It is also true that the bigger your base power the larger the gains on offer will be with most power gains being quoted as a percentage of base power. Don’t be fooled you end up paying a lot more if you use cheap parts.
It is fair to say that many people are attached to their cars and this might explain why they spend so much on tuning them up and trying to get more power from them. For impartial advice you really need to go to specialist tuning forum and chat with their members. We strongly suggest that you join a site called TorqueCars (http://www.torquecars.com)as they have one of the friendliest forums and communities we have ever encountered. Typical make and model specific forums do not always have the tuning experience and instead you need to consult with an enthusiast car site focused on car tuning where the members are used to performance modifications and the problems associated with them.
Which mods you go for there is no substitute for the voice of experience. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others a fool makes his own. It is also handy if you know which parts work well as there are many snake oils.
Modding cars can become a crazed obsession on your Nissan 350z, and it certainly will pay to get good impartial advice before beginning your project.
Don’t ignore the legalities involved in Nissan 350z tuning with some states restricting all mods but even this applies to you you can see benefits stripping down and reconditioning the engine and tweaking the insides to a tighter tolerance and spec than the OEM.
Which ever modifications you go for it is worth getting some extra advice and opinions for your Nissan 350z tuning project. The wise man, after all, learns from the mistakes of others whereas a fool makes their own mistakes. Beware of marketing hype and manufacturer claims as sadly many performance parts are of a very poor quality cheap is not always best and certain not cheerful. Modding cars can get to be a an obsession and it is easy to overspend or go over budget when you get going we recommend you seek good advice before starting to mod your Nissan 350z. A modified 350z can also be hard to insure with many insurers declining cover. If you change the engine size or cars colour you may even have to get the car re-registered. This often requires some paperwork or sometimes and engineers report.
To go the Do it yourself or enlist the services of a specialist mechanic can be a hard decision to make but with practice and a good guide book and a dose of common sense you will generally be able to tackle whatever comes along and the advantage of doing it yourself is that the costs will be so much lower plus you get the satisfaction from doing it without help! Really get into car tuning on your 350z because it is rewarding and pleasurable and turns your car into something special.
