Importance of Vehicle Windshield Factory Seal

Your windshield is one of the most important safety features of your vehicle. When your windshield is chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged, it not only obstructs visibility while you are driving and the damage could grow or become a major problem at any moment. Windshield repair is very useful when damage is minimal, but there may be times when a replacement is necessary. The problem is, when you replace the original glass, you break the factory seal. Ideally, you hire an experienced auto glass repair company that will do everything possible to fix a damaged windshield so that the factory seal is not broken or you hire a company that is trained and experienced in windshield calibration so that your vehicle’s safety is optimized.

Your car’s factory seal is important because the way your windshield adheres to your vehicle impacts both the integrity of your car’s roof and how airbags will deploy in the event of an accident. Needless to say, the safety of your vehicle is not just dependent on your windshield integrity, but the integrity of the windshield seal itself. Not all windshield repair and replacement services are experienced in or even know how to properly maintain factory seal or replace a windshield and calibrate it for optimal safety. All of the old adhesives must be completely removed and the area cleaned, then the windshield needs to be replaced with the correct adhesive. Finally, the windshield seal must be calibrated to ensure it is correct and optimal for your vehicle so that you can have peace of mind that your vehicle is safe to operate.
