CONSUMER INFORMATION:
Quality Auto
Glass installations meet federal motor vehicle safety
standards (FMVSS 212 & 216) pertaining to crash and roll
over testing. Windshields must act as a "safety net" to
reduce occupant ejection during a crash.
Auto glass is a structural part of today's automobiles, and
improper installation can result in injuries to passengers.
Like seat belts, windshields are designed to keep occupants
in the vehicle in the event of an accident. Most safety
studies show that the ejection of the driver or passengers
from the vehicle during an accident increases the chance of
injury or death.
The
windshield provides virtually all the support a passenger
side airbag needs to deploy properly. If the windshield
falls out in a collision that particular air bag is all but
useless. The windshield provides much of the roof support
for most cars, especially mini vans. If the windshield is
not installed properly much of that structural support is
lost along with most of the crush resistance designed into
the vehicle.
Quality
installations require the use of state-of-the-art equipment
and tools along with the highest quality urethane adhesives,
by trained experienced technicians. |
