At 1st Shot Auto Glass, we recently handled a 2017 BMW X3 windshield replacement in Phoenix that came to us after a failed installation by another company.
What Went Wrong with the Previous Windshield Replacement
The customer had their windshield replaced elsewhere, but the technician:
- Did not know how to properly detach the driver-side A-pillar outside molding
- Broke the molding and retainer clips during removal
- Tried to cover the mistake by applying excess glue under the trim
Instead of a clean, factory-quality fit, the result was sloppy and unsafe. This is a common problem when BMW windshield replacements in Phoenix are done by inexperienced or rushed installers.
How 1st Shot Auto Glass Fixed It
When the customer brought their BMW X3 to us, we took the time to do the job right:
- Removed the failed windshield and all excess adhesive
- Replaced the broken molding and damaged clips with new OEM-quality BMW parts
- Installed the new windshield with factory-approved techniques and adhesives
The result was a safe, secure, and clean installation — the way it should have been done the first time.
Why Choosing the Right Auto Glass Shop Matters
Luxury vehicles like BMWs have precise engineering, sensitive trim pieces, and safety systems such as ADAS cameras, rain sensors, and lane assist features. An improper windshield replacement can lead to:
- Water leaks and annoying wind noise
- Improper ADAS calibration
- Safety risks if the windshield isn’t bonded correctly
That’s why it’s important to trust a shop that specializes in BMW windshield replacement in Phoenix and the East Valley.
