Saw a post on this from 2007. I was wondering what the situation on primerless urethane is now that it's less than a month shy of 2015.
In particular, I called a shop (I'm a consumer) to replace my windshield (actually I would prefer to have it "fixed" - I have wiper scratches - but every place I've called except one says it has to be replaced, they can't fix it. The one that says it's a possibility is coming tomorrow to take a look and give me his opinion on it in person).
So, after calling almost every auto glass place in town, I had a long discussion with one guy that cautioned me to make sure they (whoever I decided to use) used primer if I didn't go with his shop.
So then I started asking informed questions of the next shop. He says he doesn't use primer, he uses primerless urethane. He says he guarantees/warranties the labor for life, but not the glass (other than what the manufacturer provides, 1 year for defects).
So, the question is.... does the primerless guy know what he's doing or not? 28 years in the business, never had a problem, yada yada yada.
That's not been my experience. The AGSC shops are generally the top tier ones and any complaints I have had, AGSC has gotten on it. So report them to AGSC.
