Cofounder & Operations Consultant at AutoWorx Automotive Glass Replacement - N/A, N/A, N/A
AutoWorx AutoGlass provides safe windshield replacement, auto glass repair and car window repair.The windshield does more than just let ultraviolet safe lite through, they are essential safety features of an automobile, truck or RV.In the unlikely event of a collision, one's safety depends on the quality of the windshield installation.Windshield replacement glass must be bonded properly to the car in order to provide a multitude of safety features. The bond assists the vehicle's occupant compartment from crushing in a rollover accident, the middle layer aids in preventing ejection from the vehicle by slowing the occupant's body inertia (especially when there are no air bags or the occupants do not wear their seat belts). The windshield itself acts as a backboard for the airbags absorbing much of the impact. Correctly installed auto glass, especially windshield replacement, provides structural rigidity, making for a more stable vehicle when trying to avoid accidents on some cars.Windshield bonding glues are called urethane adhesives, but not all urethane is the same. There are many urethane glues made by many different manufacturers. The strength of each urethane is different and can be as low as a couple hundred psi of strength to over a thousand psi of strength. Also there are glues called high modulus / low conductive urethane glue which must be used on some auto glass for certain cars. High modulus has even more strength, providing more structural rigidity.
