Quality Auto Glass Saves Lives During Rollover Accidents
The National Glass Association has confirmed that poor auto glass installations have contributed significantly to the 12,000 Americans that die each year when ejected from a vehicle during an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards for Original Equipment (OE) quality require quality windshield mounting "to keep vehicle occupants within the confines of the passenger compartment during a crash." |

Auto Glass is an Important Vehicle Crush Resistance Factor
According to Leo Cyr of the National Glass Association, windshields today are actually a major factor in the structural integrity of vehicles. He states that "the windshield provides much of the roof support for most cars, especially mini-vans. If the windshield is displaced, much of that structural support is lost along with most of the crush resistance designed into the vehicle." |
