Windshield Provides Structural Stability in a Front-End Collision
Your front windshield does more than just keep the rain and bugs out. Today, there are some seriously cool safety features that your windshield provides. It’s actually a structural component of your vehicle. It provides up to 60% of the structural integrity in the event of a rollover, up to 45% in a front-end collision, and acts as a backboard for the airbags. Think about that. What if over half of the force of a collision was absorbed by YOU or your passenger because your windshield flew out in an accident? It happens. The windshield is an integral part of the safety restraint system in your car as important as seatbelts. It keeps your roof from crushing in on you in a rollover, allows your airbags to deploy in the correct position to cushion your passengers, and prevents you and your family from being ejected in a serious collision.
In addition, today’s vehicles offer many more high-tech auto glass safety features like rain sensors, hydrophobic coatings, and Advanced Driver Assist Systems. It’s more important than ever to your family’s safety that the automotive glass in your vehicle is installed properly.
