Windshield cracks are not as innocent as they appear. A truck driving ahead of you may fling debris on your car and cause a tiny-miny crack in your windshield. Or, you may get it by small stones falling off a landslide site. Incidents like these and more can easily harm or crack the windshield of your car; since most of the other body is made up of metal.
If you are a vehicle owner for long, you must be aware of the importance of proper maintenance and servicing of your car. A small crack in the windshield is often taken lightly and tossed aside.
The windshield of a vehicle is essential to keep its structural integrity intact and keep pollution, dust, rainwater, and wind at bay.
Moreover, windshields, as the name suggests, are meant to provide safety and protection to the passengers. In case the windshield cracks or gets chipped due to extreme weather conditions, the lamination is designed to hold everything in place for a while. Windshields are made up of tempered laminated glass, which means that two layers of glass panes are stuck together with lamination in between them. This promises double protection and some more. The immediate damage is done to one of the layers of the windshield. The lamination and the second glass layers hold things together until the damage is fixed. Until then, the windshield is safe from
injuring the passengers or falling on the road.
However, having laminated glass for your windshield does not mean that you are safe for a long period and can keep fixing or changing your windshield for later. Even a small crack or hole is a sign that the safety level of the windshield has been compromised. Also, the crack or hole of the windshield can spread.
