3 Important Functions of Windshields

Dec 18, 2020 | Driving Tips | 0 comments

You may not know it, but your windshield is one of the most important safety features of your car. The materials used to create them are specific and they are designed with strict safety standards, making them more durable than some common glass.

Interested to know why windshields are important? Here are their 3 most important functions you should know about:

Why Windshields Are Important

Driver and Passenger Protection

The most important purpose of windshields is to keep drivers and their passengers safe. Not only windshield block rocks, dirt, bugs, and other things from hitting you while driving, but it will also keep you from being ejected out of your car during a collision.

Proper Airbag Deployment

Speaking of collisions, windshields play an integral role in ensuring proper airbag deployment, especially for the passenger’s side. With a damaged or improperly installed windshield, the risk of airbag failure is high, which may result in serious injuries for the people inside the vehicle. Because of this, make sure that your windshield is properly installed and doesn’t have any visible cracks and chips.

Automobile Roof Support

If you ever get caught in a major road accident, your car may rollover. Injuries are expected from these accidents, but windshields can help in minimizing the damage that can happen. Windshields support the structural integrity of your vehicle. During a rollover, they keep your roof from collapsing and remain intact.

Keep Your Windshield in Its Best Condition

Now that you know the main functions of your windshield, I am sure you want to keep it in great condition. Luckily, that’s a pretty easy thing to do. You just need to be a responsible driver and make sure to practice the following tips:

  • Drive the speed limit.

  • Park in shaded areas.

  • Do not tailgate.

  • Avoid driving near construction sites and gravel roads.

  • Immediately contact an auto glass shop in case a visible windshield crack or chip shows up.
