Ask TeleGlass – Skunk on the Windshield?

striped_skunk In a clear case of, “Huh, you don’t hear that every day,” we received a question from Twitter user @CountryCousin asking us about a skunk, and the odor it left on her windshield.

She asked, “What is the best way to remove skunk scent from my windsheild? The little bugger jumped on my hood and sprayed the windshield and every time I drive with the windows down I almost faint.”

I’m afraid we have some bad news.

If the scent is only present with the windows rolled down, the good news is that whoever installed your last windshield did a great job. The odor is not reaching the cabin of the vehicle via a leaky seal around your windshield. We’re pleased to use your question to point out another reason choosing the right augo glass company is so important! Normally you think about things like safety and wind noise, but in this case that windshield is liquid and air tight, keeping out the skunk’s unpleasant calling card.

Well Sue, this is an excellent question. First let me say that the majority of auto glass does not get recycled. Sadly, most of the broken windshields will end up in a landfill. Tempered glass also generally does not get recycled. This is not to say that auto glass never gets recycled. We have discovered that there are different companies have been able to find useful way to recycle broken auto glass, both tempered and windshields. [click to continue…]

Ask Teleglass – Inspection Sticker

Ok folks, here it is, our very first “Ask TeleGlass” answer blog!

This particular question came in a few hours ago, and we just had to use it in our first “Ask TeleGlass” post. Dave W. of Richmond, Virginia asked TeleGlass, “I am changing out a windshield on a vehicle that has a state inspection sticker on it. What is the “trick” that professionals use to remove and reinstall those stickers?”

Introducing Ask TeleGlass

questions-small It’s all well and good that we are becoming better known for windscreen repair, but if that’s the only reason we blog, it’s going to get a little redundant over time. So Rachel, Sheila, Michelle, and I were sitting around brainstorming some ways to make this space a little more interesting, and came up with a weekly feature called “Ask TeleGlass.”
