Windshield Replacement
When glass sustains damage from stones, pressure, hail, or road debris, it can result in either a chip or a crack. While some may consider DIY solutions using cheap repair substances found online, there are significant drawbacks to this approach. These DIY repair kits often contain watered-down chemicals and lack proper application methods.
Commercial-grade glass repairs, on the other hand, utilize techniques involving pressure and suction to ensure the resin penetrates even the most intricate parts of cracks or chips. The difference between such professional repairs and DIY kits is substantial. While DIY fixes may superficially restore the glass’s appearance, they may leave behind hidden fractures vulnerable to future cracks due to wind pressure and vibrations.
Moreover, these hidden fractures can compromise Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), potentially leading to malfunctions during critical maneuvers like emergency braking or lane changes. Therefore, it’s advisable to prioritize windshield replacement whenever possible rather than opting for repairs.
Modern vehicle windshields serve a vital role beyond mere glass protection. Unlike older models, today’s windshields are integrated into the operation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Improper calibration can lead to alignment and vibration issues, impacting crucial safety features like emergency braking and lane change systems. Failure to calibrate during installation may result in insurance complications, as insurers could deny claims or even hold you liable for accidents due to compromised safety systems. Just as neglecting tire and brake maintenance can be considered negligent, overlooking windshield calibration poses significant risks on the road.
