How long do I have to wait to drive after just getting my windshield replaced?

Can I drive right away or should I wait a day?How long do I have to wait to drive after just getting my windshield replaced?
most quality shops do not want you to go over 30mph and to go very slow over rr tracks for the first 24 hours .How long do I have to wait to drive after just getting my windshield replaced?
None of the above...



It depends on the adhesive used and what the conditions are at the time. Factors such as temperature and humidity count, as does whether or not the urethane is a specialty product or not. Often times, the SDAT (Safe Drive Away Time) is about an hour. A good glass shop will tell you about SDAT when you make your appointment. If you ask them what the ';S-D-A-T'; will be, and the person on the phone cannot answer your question, it's time to find a new glass shop!

just leave it a few hours, 2 - 3 and it will be fine, just needs the adhesive to dry.
It's good to go as soon as it's installed. You can go as fast as you want and you can go anywhere you want.
When u take it to a shop and they replace it, there is no waiting for it to dry, etc. It's done, you pay and go.
you can drive the same day as soon as they fix it.
