Going to rain after windshield replacement

Asked by GuruCV17V Feb 12, 2019 at 09:28 PM about the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze L Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just replaced my windshield today but stupidly forgot it was going to rain
tomorrow. I was told to leave two windows cracked for 48 hours. I would rather
not put a garbage bag there do to heavy rains and the risk of getting broken
into because its obvious my window is down. Would i be ok rolling my windows
up over night? And while i am not driving tomorrow due to rain?

The sealer hardens in about an hour but may take a couple days to really cure, they want you to leave the window down a crack for a day or two so that when you slam the door shut, your not causing a pressure wave that blows out the uncured seal. I think if you CAREFULLY shut the down with the windows up you should be fine. Just don't slam it shut.
