Many of us likely take our windshields for granted. When they are in good working order, it’s easy to forget how important the windshield is to the functioning of our vehicle. After being involved in a car accident, many people rush to get their windshields replaced without thinking of the consequences. While obviously containing no moving parts or machinery, the windshield is integral to the safety of ourselves and fellow passengers.
According to SafeWindshields.org, the windshield accounts for 60% of the structural support strength to the vehicle cabin in a rollover accident. One risk you incur by driving a car with an improperly installed windshield is ejection during a vehicle collision such as a rollover. This would happen when the windshield literally pops out from its place, leaving you exposed and vulnerable. And because the windshield provides so much structural support for the vehicle, the roof could also cave in on you during a similar accident. The force of your car’s airbags is yet another way to dislodge your windshield in an accident. Clearly, a violent collision is the worst possible time to discover that your windshield has been improperly installed.
