What Should a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty Actually Cover?

A workmanship warranty should explain the installation problems it covers, how long it lasts, and where glass damage or unrelated vehicle conditions fall outside it.

The verified Carolina Auto Glass term

Carolina Auto Glass covers its installation workmanship for as long as the customer owns the vehicle. The coverage is non-transferable when the vehicle is sold. The written terms supplied with the job control if a question arises.

Workmanship issues

The site warranty describes water intrusion traced to the new glass installation, wind noise caused by the seal, and installation-related molding, trim, or clip problems. If a camera recalibrated with the installation does not hold calibration because of the work performed, the labor is rechecked under the stated terms.

What is separate

New impact, collision, road-debris, theft, or break-in damage is not an installation defect. Rust, prior body damage, sunroof or drain leaks, and later work by another provider can also fall outside workmanship coverage. A defect in the glass itself follows the applicable manufacturer's part warranty.

How to ask for help

Call, text, or email with the vehicle and approximate installation date. Carolina Auto Glass reviews the concern through a mobile visit. This article is a plain-language overview; the full warranty page contains the current details and exclusions.
