What is so different about auto glass that it needs a trained technician?

Auto glass is two layers of normal glass sandwiching a poly-vinyl layer in between. The effect that the layer of plastic creates is a bendable yet strong material that binds the two sheets of glass together. If impacted, instead of shattering through the cabin like normal glass, auto glass bends and absorbs the impact. If the impact is small, sometimes it just damages the glass without completely shattering it. If the damage is noticeable, it needs to be inspected by a professional. The other benefits of safety glass are just as important in the modern automobile:

• Safety glass absorbs up to 97% of ultraviolet light, blocking it from entering the cabin and heating it up. Though some gets through, it creates a much more stable temperature for the driver and passengers.
• Safety glass is an excellent dampener or high frequency sounds. This makes the cabin a much quieter place and less distracting.

When do I know that I need to replace or repair a windshield?

Sometimes auto glass breaks are less obvious and only a trained eye will locate the problem areas. A driver needs to keep in mind the safety of all passengers, pedestrians and other drivers when debating whether or not damage is serious enough to warrant a visit to a technician. These are some of the specific issues that need to be inspected before they become safety risks:

• Cracked glass can be the most obvious indicator that a repair or replacement job is needed. When a crack forms it can quickly expand from weathering and worsen overnight. Do not avoid fixing cracked glass.
• Chipped windshields can be a strong indicator of a damaged poly-vinyl layer. An expert needs to inspect these and determine if it needs an immediate fix.
• Scratches are often the first warnings that a window is damaged and needs to be inspected. These can happen from lighter impacts that may have damaged the glass in other areas as well. Be sure to analyze a scratched window to make sure you haven't missed other areas of damage.
