Windshields are designed by manufacturers to provide maximum protection for everyone inside the vehicle. Made from laminated glass, it can withstand impact from both small and large objects.
However, what happens when your front windshield gets cracked and chipped?
Damaged Glass Limits Driver’s Vision
Damaged glass severely limits your vision while driving. As soon as the crack spreads across the windshield, it obstructs the driver’s line of sight increasing the risk of an accident. In addition, as soon as harsh sunlight hits the glass, it can blind the driver as the light reflects through the cracks.
Damaged Glass Offers Less Protection
A windshield in excellent condition offers solid protection for everyone in the vehicle during accidents. Cracked glass, however, offers less protection if not bringing more harm to passengers because it lacks stability. The longer you delay the repairs, the worse the cracks will get.
Damaged Glass Risks the Roof’s Structural Instability
When a car rolls over in an accident, a part of the roof’s structural stability comes from the vehicle’s glass. This glass has enough strength to keep the roof from caving in from the weight of the cars’ under chassis. Cracked windshields, however, have an increased risk of roof cave-ins in an accident.
