Chevy Silverado Windshield Replacement: What You Need to Know

Introduced in 1998, the Chevy Silverado has become one of America’s beloved pick-up trucks. The Silverado has come to be known for its performance, reliability, and its overall versatility and innovation. However, when your Chevy Silverado's windshield is damaged, it can be a real hassle. To help make the process smoother, here are four important facts to know about Chevy Silverado windshield replacement.

1. How Much Does a Chevy Silverado Windshield Replacement Cost?

Typically, a Chevy Silverado windshield replacement costs between $300 to $600 or sometimes a bit more depending on a few factors. If you’d like to get a more accurate cost that fits your specific Chevy Silverado model, contact Optic-Kleer for a free estimate. 

2. How Long Does a Chevy Silverado Windshield Replacement Take?

On average, replacing a Chevy Silverado windshield takes just under two hours. However, factors such as weather conditions, the drying time of the adhesive, and the extent of the current windshield's damage can impact the overall wait time.

3. What Type of Windshield Is Used on a Chevy Silverado?

Chevy Silverado pick-up trucks tend to use laminated windshields, which consists of a layer of vinyl between two layers of glass. This style of windshield prevents the glass from shattering into multiple sharp pieces during a collision. Depending on your Chevy Silverado model, your windshield may have acoustic or solar-reflective properties within the windshield for benefits like noise reduction or sun protection. 

A specialist will always know exactly what windshield you need for your specific Chevy model. Provide your VIN number when requesting a quote so that your auto glass company can look up the exact windshield needed for your Silverado. 

4. Can a Rock Chip in My Chevy Silverado Windshield Be Repaired?

Although Chevy Silverado windshields are made of high quality glass, chips and cracks can still occur from rocks or debris. If the crack in your windshield hasn’t spread too far then a repair may be possible. Typically a windshield can be safely repaired if a crack hasn’t spread past the length of a dollar, or a rock chip is smaller than the size of a quarter.
