Windshield: Your Clear View to Safety and Comfort on the Road

At AutoGlass Technology, we are dedicated to the safety of you and your passengers. We use only Original Equivalent Equipment auto glass quality windshields (OEE) that are installed according to safety standards set by the vehicle manufacturers. Our technicians are always on the lookout for the latest technologies and installation techniques and make every effort to help you hit the road safely!

Key Features and Benefits of a High-Quality Windshield

Passenger safety is the most important aspect of vehicle manufacturing. Your vehicle's windshield accounts for up to 70% of the structural integrity and is the third most important safety component after seat belts and airbags. This is necessary to:

  • Support the roof when there is a vehicle rollover accident or collision and reinforces any weak spots found within the roof frame.
  • Ensure that passengers are not ejected from the vehicle during an impact.
    • The safety of you and your passengers depends on proper windshield replacement. Today's windshield replacements use increasingly sophisticated technology and must be entrusted to qualified technicians that use the most advanced and most reliable equipment on the market.
    Proper preparation is vital to a proper installation. VitroPlus technicians do it right, including:

  • We carry out a complete inspection of the vehicle before starting the work and evaluate if the crack or chip is repairable. Everything is done to save you time and money.
  • We protect the vehicle's interior and exterior with a cover and remove the wiper blades to facilitate the work.
  • We prepare the vehicle and windshield by applying a coat of primer. This step ensures better adhesion and prevents rust from forming around the windshield in the future.

    • If you are planning on claiming your windshield replacement to your insurer, AutoGlass Technology has you covered! We take care of everything for you, and deal directly with your insurer from beginning to end.

    All you need to do is set up an appointment or go directly to the AutoGlass Technology store of your choice with your insurance documents. We will contact your insurer to determine your deductible and invoice your insurer directly once the work is completed.

    ADHESIVES MEET FMVSS SAFETY STANDARDS

    In the event of a collision, the force of the impact may cause airbags to deploy. If the windshield isn't improperly installed, it may detach from the vehicle, causing potentially critical or fatal injuries to passengers and/or bystanders.

    To ensure the best possible adhesion, we use SIKA brand adhesives, the largest manufacturer of automotive glass adhesives in the world. These adhesives undergo all crash tests and meet FMVSS 208, 212 and 216 standards.

  • FMVSS 208 Occupant Crash Protection
    • The windshield must be able to withstand the force generated by the passenger-side airbag deployment.

  • FMVSS 212 Windshield Mounting
    • The windshield must protect passengers in the event of a frontal collision.

  • FMVSS 216 Resistance crush resistance
    • The windshield must act as a support for the roof to reduce the risk of collapsing in the event of a vehicle rollover accident.

    REPAIR OR REPLACE? KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

    Repair a crack in your windshield if you can. It saves time, money, and is environmentally friendly. But how do you know if it can be repaired? Here are three rules to know:

  • The size of the crack should be now bigger than a quarter.
  • The point of impact must be at least 4 cm from the edge of the windshield.
  • The point of impact must not be in the driver's field of vision (an area 30 cm wide above the middle of the steering wheel. Any crack in your windshield weakens the glass and can cause glare from sunlight, oncoming headlights, and will grow in size over time, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions.
