Deals Glass Services is glad to see that so many of our customers who have encountered repairable damage come down to the shop as soon as possible to have the damage repaired before it gets worse. Unfortunately, when the damage is more severe and obviously cannot be repaired, many people wait to have the glass replaced. Whether this is due to the cost, or the presumed inconvenience of a bigger job, driving your automobile with a critically damaged windshield is an inherently dangerous practice.
With mobile repair available and insurance footing most of the bills, we hope to see more Charlotte area drivers coming in for replacement immediately. Since the windshield is essential to the structural integrity of the vehicle, driving around with a severely damaged auto glass is equivalent to ignoring frame damage.
Not only does the windshield hold up the roof of the car, preventing collapse, it is also integral to the Safety Restraint System. In the event of a collision, the airbag deflects off the windshield in order to hold it’s proper position in front of the driver or front passenger. When the windshield is weakened by a crack, the glass can fold like a hinge upon impact, displacing the airbags and further weakening the surface that supports the roof and provides a barrier that keeps people inside the vehicle.
Once drivers resolve to get immediate attention for their damaged windshield, their safety is still determined by the quality of the replacement products and the procedure of the glass technicians. When a shop is using inferior products, it can compromise the safety of the work they are doing. Aftermarket (non-OEM) windshields don’t always have the proper fit or proportion and cheap urethane doesn’t dry properly – when these factors are paired with improper training in procedure it can spell disaster for the car owner.
We want anyone who has a severe crack in their windshield to remember that the windshield is essentially a safety component. So please, get your OEM replacement at a qualified shop as soon as the damage pops up – before your windshield pops out!
