Wait 24 hours before entering a car wash with a new or repaired windshield. The high water pressures and cleaning chemicals could damage the windshield adhesive.

It's recommended that you wait at least 24 hours after replacing or repairing a windshield to take your car through a car wash. When possible, you should wait a few days.

I was told not to take it to an automatic car wash for 24 hours after the replacement. But I could wash it by hand.
