Why is auto glass different?

The windshield may appear to be a simple piece of glass, and therefore it may be tempting to assume it is an unimportant part of the vehicle. The reality of auto glass is that it is a crucial portion of modern cars. A damaged window puts the entire vehicle and its passengers at risk so it should be repaired immediately.

Auto glass, also called safety glass, is one of the more ingenious inventions of the twentieth century. Safety glass is two layers of glass which sandwich a clear layer of vinyl. The plastic vinyl is a flexible material that binds with deceptive strength to the windows. The end result is a windshield that is both resistant to shattering and yet allows for crumpling during impact. The windshield is critical for keeping exterior elements out of the passenger cabin, It also contains the interior and prevents passengers from ejection during very severe accidents. Some of the less obvious benefits are:

  • Safety glass provides a strong sound dampening effect, making the ride much more pleasant.
  • Blockage of dangerous ultraviolet radiation.

What auto glass problems should I be seeking professional help for?

There are problems that can arise suddenly with windows that need an professional's eye. Almost all damage incidents are unique, but a properly trained technician has the knowledge to spot and categorize specific issues in very little time. Some of the issues that experts can analyze for you include:

  • Scratched glass can seem little more than an annoyance, but the unsightly lines and gouges can actually weaken glass and make it vulnerable to further breaks that become more severe.
  • Chipped auto glass can be difficult to see at times. Small pieces of glass can shatter but not break through the layer. Nevertheless, chips will weaken the windshield's integrity and require a fix from a trained professional.
  • Cracked glass is the most obvious and the most severe of all damages. Cracks can expand across the windshield overnight from temperature changes and put the entire windscreen at risk.

What are my responsibilities as the driver to maintain my windshield?

Where safety is an issue, the driver must consider more than themselves. It can be tempting to think that a minor mar is just an unsightly blemish on the glass.  A damaged windshield is much more than that though.  When auto glass is compromised, and a shatter occurs, the safety of anyone near the vehicle is at risk. Keeping a windshield in top condition is a simple task that all drivers are expected heed. If law enforcement witnesses an unsafe windshield, they will cite the driver for an unsafe condition.
