Replacing a broken car windscreen can be simplified into four steps. First, a protective covering is placed around the windscreen area, and the seals or glue that holds the glass in place are cut from the car. Next, a primer agent is applied to the framework, and the glass is replaced. You should use professional car windscreen fitters for this job.
