Tips On a Ford F-Series Windshield Replacement
The Ford F Series Pickup trucks are by far the most popular type of pickup truck to be sold in America over the last 45 years. F Series trucks are widely known for their durability and reliability in handling almost every task. Ford F-150 is the most popular truck we work with in the Chicagoland area. Here are some useful tips to consider before getting a windshield replacement on your Ford F Series pickup truck.
1. How Long Does a Ford F Series Truck Windshield Replacement Take?
Our certified auto glass technicians at Flash Auto Glass take about 1 hour on average for a Ford F-150 windshield replacement. After we complete your Ford F Series windshield replacement, we will then perform a windshield calibration to ensure all ADAS safety features are working properly. Any newer Ford F Series pickup truck that has any smart functions such as windshield wiper sensors, lane departure, and crash warning need a windshield calibration after their windshield replacement. If you have auto glass insurance, in most bases you will be able to replace and recalibrate your Ford F Series windshield with little to no money out of pocket.
2. What Does it Cost to Replace a Windshield on a Ford F Series Pickup Truck?
Until we talk with our clients about their specific F Series vehicle, the answer to this question is tough. The average cost for a Ford F-150 windshield replacement can range anywhere from $300 to as much as $2,000 depending on the features the Ford is equipped with. Any newer Ford F Series truck that had ADAS features for safety and convenience has built-in camera technology in the windshield. We work with all insurance providers and are happy to discuss your Ford F Series vehicle before we start your windshield replacement.
3. What Type of Windshield is Used on Ford F-150 Pickup Trucks?
Ford F-150 windshields use a laminated windshield with SoundScreen acoustic deadening for a quieter ride. This same windshield technology used in newer model Ford F-150’s is also used for your side and rear glass.
4. Do You Need a Ford Dealership To Replace Your Windshield?
You do not need to get your windshield replacement at a Ford dealership because Flash Auto Glass is a certified auto glass company who has replaced hundreds of Ford F Series windshields! Ford F Series pickup trucks use state-of-the-art ADAS smart features to enhance your safety and driving experience. Because of this, Ford recommends using a certified Ford auto glass installation company like Flash Auto Glass. Ford F Series windshields and auto glass have advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, technology and other built in features that require a certified Ford auto glass company to ensure your windshield or auto glass replacement is up to the same standards required by the Ford dealership.
5. Can a Ford Windshield Crack or Chip Be Fixed
Ford windshields are made with the highest quality OEM grade or better auto glass, but can still only require a windshield repair if you just have a small crack or chip. A thin crack in a Ford F-150 windshield can be repaired usually if the crack has a length less than a dollar bill. A rock chip in your windshield can also just be repaired if the rock chip happens to be smaller than a quarter in diameter. If you’re unsure if you’re able to get a simple windshield repair, contact Flash Auto Glass so we can help to determine whether your Ford F-150 is in need of a windshield repair or windshield replacement.
