  Q: Why is professional installation recommended for replacing a cracked or chipped windshield on Honda Prelude?

  A: If your windshield or other fixed window is cracked or chipped, you may consider replacing it yourself, but there are two main reasons why professional installation is recommended, two of them being safety and cost. The windshield is also made very safe, it is doubled tempered glass with a layer of thin plastic in between so that in case of an accident the windshield can effectively take all the impact instead of shattering and thus inflicting more harm on its occupants. Other fixed windows are also tempered to break and yet remain safe, and a professional technician will install the glass in a way that it performs best during an accident. Accidents can be made worst by installing the automotive glass without the necessary skill and equipment needed for the task. Other factors include cost as poor and at time inexperienced installation can cause breakages of the windshields hence the frequent need to replace the items and leakages which may cause further complications and inconveniences. Hence, the employment of the service provider will at some time prove more financially effective and less straining. In as much as the above windshield chip repair directions may work, it is important to look at local laws on safety inspections and determine whether they allow chip repair in the first place since some places do not allow it. Chips can be fixed, while windshields that have been almost completely damaged must be changed; however, there is a wide range of products called 'windshield repair kits,' which are syringes with a special adhesive to fill up the chip and avoid its enlargement, and other parts that should be used strictly according to the instructions.
