Your Windshield is Actually a Safety Device

You may not realize that the windshield is one of your vehicle's most important safety devices working in conjunction with the seatbelt and air bag system.

The windshield deflects your car's passenger air bag in a collision and supports the roof during a rollover, providing structural integrity that prevents the roof from caving in.
Because of its crucial role in the event of an accident, do not treat auto glass replacement with the casualness of everyday vehicle maintenance.
