Why Back Glass Replacement is Different from Windshield Replacement
When it comes to auto glasses, it is important to understand that the windshield and back glass are not the same because they serve different functions and they have different features. When comparing windshield and back glass replacement the cost of two services are also different, and back glass replacement usually costs more.
The type of glass used for the back glass is different from the windshield. The windshield is made of laminated glass which is manufactured by taking 3 layers of glass and laminating them together. The layers are made of a vinyl layer between two layers of glass. This design creates a window glass that doesn't shatter, which protects the occupants of the vehicle from flying glass shards during an accident or collision. Back glass is made from tempered glass, which is designed to shatter when broken. However, tempered glass shatters into tiny pebbles instead of sharp glass shards to prevent glass related injuries. Because the back glass shatters every where there is a need for a thorough clean up, especially in the back seats before the back glass replacement process. The back glass also connects to a defrost grid, that helps to melt the ice and snow during winter. This makes back glass replacement a little more challenging and technicians will require more time to replace the back glass than they would for a windshield replacement.

The Importance of Back Glass Replacement and RepairThe back glass is just as important as the windshield and other auto glasses of your car. They all function to keep the occupants of a vehicle safe in the event of an accident. The back glass along with the other auto glasses provide a 360 degree vision of the road which is needed to properly navigate traffic and have the best visibility when driving during bad weather conditions. Not having a clear line of vision because of a damaged or broken back glass is a safety hazard. The back glass protects the car's interior from external debris and objects as well as rain and other external elements. If damage to the back glass is small such as a small crack or chip, delaying repairs can only make them worse. Small cracks and chips can spread and become bigger if ignored for a long time which can make repairs difficult and may require the back glass to be replaced.
It is important to look for professional auto glass services for the replacement or repair of back glass windows. Professional technicians follow correct procedures and have the proper tools, knowledge and experience to correctly replace or repair the back glass of your car. This will prevent the risk of premature shattering, or breakage as well as other damages and complications that can result from poor installation. |
