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

374 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?

Windshields are bonded to the frame by a strong adhesive which can take time to set fully, hence the precautions. While the adhesive is still “soft”, jarring or vibrations could cause the windshield to move or come loose.
