So I had a rock or some object kicked up into my windshield on the highway resulting in a crack in my windshield a few days back. Put in a claim and got my windshield replaced yesterday morning. Took the car out for a trip to Natick from Lowell a few hours later and noticed that the windshield ( maybe something else) started to squeak every time the car went over a bump. This noise definitely didn't exist before. I figured maybe it was the glue still settling or something and just brushed it off. Tonight when i left for work i noticed the noise was still there it had been over 36 hours since the install at this point. The windshield i got was from safelite and is definitely not the same windshield that came with the car. The glass no longer has a greenish tint to it, it almost looks kind of purple now. The installer told me it is a solar coat and to be honest it looks pretty cool but i am not sure if this is the problem. Also i have not tested if the rain sensors still work. Thought i would bring it on here to see what you guys think? Has anyone ever had a similar problem? Thanks in advance.

Has the exact same thing happen to me about a month ago.... LUCKILY the squeak went away after about 2 or 3 days.... apparently the glue had to set for that long? Hopefully you have the same luck. Also, it was a Safelite replacement, and i declined the solar coated one... the were asking $600 for the solar vs 300 for the non. My glass deductible is the same as my full coverage, so i went non- coated. The other good news was my rain sensors worked immensely better post replcaement... those little chips and pings in the glass def do mess the sensor up.
