When buying a car, some people focus on the car’s performance and some on its appearance. Other buyers focus on its driver-assistance features.
However, the car windshield is never given much thought. In fact, most vehicle owners only realize the importance of a windshield for a car after it has incurred much damage. You only give it some attention when the windshield incurs damage.
The windshield of a car serves multiple functions Below are some of them.
Clear Vision
One of the most basic functions of a windshield is to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the roads ahead to the driver. A clear, unobstructed view is vital if you want to drive your car safely without getting into potentially dangerous situations.
Protective Shield
The windshield serves as a protective shield for the vehicle. It protects the vehicle’s occupants and the interiors of the car from dust, stones, debris, bugs, rain, wind, and other outside elements that you encounter on the roads.
More than an Ornament Addition
The windshield is also a fundamental safety unit for your vehicle. It lends 40% structural strength to the car. In the case of a rollover, the windshield in the car works as a supportive beam and prevents the car roof from caving in and collapsing on you and your loved ones.
Right deployment of Airbags
The windshield of a car is essential in the proper deployment of the front airbags. It serves as the backstop for the airbags to bounce off and inflate towards the car occupants.
If the windshield is damaged, it can’t absorb the airbag’s impact as a result of which the airbags won’t work efficiently, leading to a failed airbag deployment. If there is an airbag malfunction, it will lead to severe injuries.
UV Protection
The interlayer in laminated glass is quite effective in blocking the harmful UV rays of the sun. Thus, the windshield can protect the vehicle’s interior from deterioration and its occupants from UV-related skin issues.
Professional Windshield Repair Services
Whenever your car window suffers some damage, there’s a good chance that it can simply be replaced outright. Our repairs are done by filling cracked or damaged areas with resin.
Depending on the size and the type of damage involved, you might not even be able to tell that any windshield work was done after it’s completed. Our windshield repair goes in fairly smoothly on a majority of the windshield that we work on.
Lebanon Glass performs windshield repair services on every type of vehicle. If our technicians can’t repair the windshield, we offer replacement with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) quality glass, free mobile service, and same-day scheduling.
Drivers should know that driving with a damaged windshield can decrease the strength and integrity of the vehicle’s windshield frame. This can dangerously increase vehicle damage and personal injury during an unexpected auto accident.
Our glass experts are certified and insured in removing damaged windshields without causing any harm to your paint, windshield wipers, and rear-view mirrors. We pride ourselves and ensure our technicians by staying up to date with the latest manufacturing specs, sizing, and service tools.
The Benefits of Windshield Repair
When your windshield is damaged, it is more than just a simple aesthetic problem. Cracks can lead to inconvenience while on the road and even be dangerous under certain conditions.
Below are some of the benefits of windshield repair.
Greater Susceptibility to Breaking
One crack may not seem like much. It may even be at a location in your windshield where it is not obstructing your vision. However, when you end up in a collision, your windshield is severely compromised. It can shatter upon impact even if the collision was not that serious. For your safety and the safety of your passengers, you need prompt windshield repair.
Save Money If You Do It Sooner
A common reason why several drivers delay getting windshield repair is that they do not want to spend the money on it at the moment. The thing many people do not realize is that if you wait, then your windshield is only going to get more damaged. Soon, your entire windshield may need to be replaced, and that is a lot more expensive than getting a minor repair job.
Feel Safer Again
When you have a chipped or cracked windshield, you likely feel uneasy driving around for fear of the glass falling out. In contrast, if you get your windshield repaired, you can drive with confidence, knowing that it’s structurally sound and won’t fall apart on the road.
Prevents Further Damage
When you leave chips and cracks alone, they will only get worse over time. This will eventually cause permanent damage to your windshield. You can avoid this by having your windshield repaired today.
