Auto Glass
In and effort to provide our customers with the broadest choice of high quality glass in the industry, TAG CORPA LLC offers both OEM and aftermarket brands.
If needed, we also provide windshield calibrations (ADAS) and rock chip repair services.
Windshield Replacements
In the process of removing and replacing your windshield or window, we will make sure to not damage your vehicles exterior/interior paint and trims. Once we have cleaned all of the debris left by the broken glass, we will prep the area where we will apply our automotive grade urethane, designed specifically for glass, to then install it. All glass replacements come with a lifetime warranty against water leaks.
Windshields that cannot be repaired have to be replaced by cutting out the old piece of glass and installing a new one. Replacement of a windshield typically takes less than 1 hour. To ensure the vehicle is safe to drive the Safe Drive Away Time has to be respected. The safe drive away time (SDAT) or minimum drive away time (MDAT) refers to the time required until a windscreen installation, e.g. after a glass replacement is considered to be safely bonded to drive again. Thus, the knowledge of the minimum time needed to cure the glass bonding adhesives is extremely important. This safe drive away time (SDAT) or minimum drive away time (MDAT) refers to the time required until a windscreen installation, e.g. after a glass replacement is considered to be safe to drive again. Criteria are laid down in U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 212/208 (FMVSS), to prove the reliability of adhesive systems. Typically the SDAT is verified with crash tests but also with high-speed laboratory test methods.
Windshield Calibrations
Using our ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration equipment, we're able to recalibrate your windshield features. Most newer vehicles now require their windshields to be recalibrated in order for all their features to function properly. All though there are more features that require your vehicle to be recalibrated, a few of them are rain sensors, lane departure warning cameras, light sensors, cruise control, and forward collision sensors.

Safety
Modern, glued-in windshields contribute to the vehicle's rigidity, but the main force for innovation has historically been the need to prevent injury from sharp glass fragments. Almost all nations now require windshields to stay in one piece even if broken, except if pierced by a strong force. Properly installed automobile windshields are also essential to safety; along with the roof of the car, they provide protection to the vehicle's occupants in the case of a rollover accident.
Today’s windshields are a safety device just like seat belts and airbags. If the adhesive bond fails at any point on the glass it can reduce the effectiveness of the air bag and substantially compromise the structural integrity of the roof.
Usage : Windshields protect the vehicle's occupants from wind and flying debris such as dust, insects, rocks, while providing an aerodynamically formed window towards the front. UV coating may be applied to screen out harmful ultraviolet radiation. However, this is usually unnecessary since most auto windshields are made from laminated safety glass. The glass itself absorbs the majority of UV-B, and the PVB bonding layer absorbs any remaining UV-B together with most of the UV-A.
