Why should I be careful on a dirt road after replacing a windshield?

372 viewsOther

So I got a new windshield. I was told to gently close doors, avoid carwashing and no getting tint added for a week. I get all that, but I don’t get why he said to go easy on a dirt road. Is it the vibration since they are rarely smooth? Or is it the dust?

according to the most basic of google searches:

With a new windshield, you should drive extra carefully to help keep it properly in place, especially during the first couple of days. One thing this means is to avoid driving on rough roads. For instance, you should avoid dirt roads and roads that have a lot of bumps or potholes.

If you frequently drive on bumpy roads, try and find alternate routes for the first 48 hours. When you encounter unavoidable speed bumps or potholes, slow to a very low speed before driving over them. Hitting these things with significant force or driving on roads that cause a lot of vibration can interfere with the proper curing of the adhesive sealant.
