I need a new screen for the first time in 33 years driving. How long does it need to sit before the car is driveable after fitting? It's a bog standard Hyundai screen with no electrics connected to it. I thought I could get it done at work but don't want to be sat around after finishing work.

Cheers!

Was an hour when I had my Legacy's 'screen replaced a short time ago...no jet washing for a few days I was told too.

Most windscreen adhesives if not all have very fast curing mechanisms which means the car can be driven 30 mins after installation. That time is measured from extrusion, not from when the job is completed.
