Auto Glass Week 2025 was more than just an event—it was a hub for innovation, networking, and the future of the glass industry. This show puts the spotlight on glass replacement professionals, technicians, and auto glass manufacturers, creating a space where new ideas and proven solutions meet.
This year, Windshield Skin was proud to take part, sharing how our patented windshield protection solutions are helping shops and manufacturers alike adapt to the challenges of today’s auto glass market.
A Growing Challenge for Glass Replacement Pros
With over 14–15 million windshields replaced in the U.S. each year, replacement professionals are busier than ever. But ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) have changed the game—replacements are now 3–5x more expensive due to recalibrations and the complexity of modern glass.
That’s where Windshield Skin comes in. By offering a preventive solution that protects windshields before damage happens, replacement pros can add a profitable new service to their lineup—helping drivers avoid costly repairs while creating recurring business for shops.
Why Manufacturers Are Paying Attention
Auto glass manufacturers are also facing a rapidly evolving landscape. Stronger, tech-integrated windshields are in high demand, but with rising costs and supply chain challenges, the industry is actively seeking complementary solutions.
Windshield Skin bridges this gap by extending the life of existing glass and providing shops with an alternative to constant replacements. By aligning with manufacturers, we’re working to build a future where prevention and production go hand in hand.
Connecting With the Community
Auto Glass Week wasn’t just about products—it was about people. We had the chance to meet with glass replacement professionals, installers, and manufacturers who share our vision of strengthening the industry through innovation and collaboration. The competitions, seminars, and hands-on demos reinforced just how skilled and passionate this community truly is.
Looking Forward
Events like Auto Glass Week remind us why windshield protection matters. As windshields get more complex and costly, both replacement pros and manufacturers are looking for solutions that protect drivers, reduce downtime, and create profitability.
Windshield Skin is proud to be at the forefront of that conversation, and we look forward to continuing to support the glass community with products that make a real impact.
