Know the Risk of Incorrectly Installed Windshield
By AIS Windshield Experts
Category: Windshield Installation
Much like airbags and seat belts, the windshield glass is an important safety device in a vehicle. It is composed of a double layer of safety-graded glass, both sealed together for an extra layer of protection. It not only protects objects like dust, gravel, and debris from flying into the vehicle, but also prevents the passengers from falling out of the vehicle in the event of an accident.
The windshield glass also acts as a support for the deployment of airbags and supports the roof of the vehicle from crashing over, in case the vehicle rolls over. Naturally, an incorrectly installed windshield glass poses a grave safety hazard. There are many ways to figure out if your car glass has been put in place correctly.
