Knowledge is power. The windshield is a critical component of your car's safety system. As a safety device, its role is to stay in place and keep occupants inside the vehicle during impact. It is the back board for the inflating passenger side air bag and provides crucial crush resistance support for the roof, in case of rollover. If a windshield is not installed properly, it can come out during a collision and lead to serious injury. Because a windshield is usually bonded into your car with an adhesive, you should look for experienced installers who have certification of instruction from adhesive companies in the use of their products. Professional auto glass companies take the time to do the job right the first time, so you'll avoid service problems down the road.
