Auto Glass
Installation—Federal Requirements
We discuss the four
federal requirements that all glass and vehicle manufacturers have to abide
by when making and installing auto glass. All glass in a vehicle is safety
glass; you will see and feel the two different types of safety
glass—laminated and tempered. You will have hands-on experience while
comparing OEM windshields, OEM Aftermarket windshields and Non-OEM
Aftermarket windshields. We will then talk about the steps that all auto
glass installers should be following that go into a safe windshield
replacement. We briefly touch upon windshield chip repairs and insurance
commission guidelines.
Loss Control and
Windshield Repair
We talk about
the inexpensiveness of windshield repairs. You will be able to see and feel
before and after slides of a windshield repair. You will also witness a
windshield repair, and you can be the judge of how you think it turns out.
You will learn that by communicating with your customers about the benefits
of windshield repairs you can actually control your losses.

Glass Installation & Lab
We discuss the changes of auto glass throughout the past century and how

you and your customer’s safety.

about the magnitude of auto theft and fraud.
Auto theft and fraud impacts both the agency

knowing what to look for, you can
potentially prevent auto theft and fraud
for the agency and yourself alike.
