MAN N1011042080 Windscreen Bronze Tinted

Description

This is a windscreen, also known as a windshield, designed to protect the occupants of a vehicle from wind, rain, and debris while providing a clear view of the road ahead. It is a critical safety component, typically used in the front of trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles. This MAN windscreen, with MPN N1011042080, is tinted bronze to reduce glare and improve driver comfort. Its dimensions are 160 x 1080 x 1100 mm. The tinted glass enhances visibility in bright conditions and provides increased structural integrity to the vehicle's frame, contributing to overall passenger safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This windscreen does exactly what you’d expect – it protects you and the inside of your vehicle from the elements. Rain, snow, dust, road debris… it’s the first line of defense. But it also has that bronze tint, and that does a couple of things. It reduces glare from the sun, which really helps when you’re driving towards the sunrise or sunset, or even just on a bright day. It also cuts down on some of the heat getting inside the car, which can make a noticeable difference in warmer weather. It’s glass, obviously, but it’s specially treated to do all that. It’s a structural part of the car, believe it or not. It’s not just stuck on there. It adds to the overall strength of the body, especially in a rollover situation. Modern windscreens are bonded to the frame using a really strong adhesive, and that actually contributes to the car's rigidity. Plus, obviously, it provides a clear view of the road. It's also a mounting point for things like your rearview mirror and sometimes sensors for advanced driver assistance systems.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, a cracked or damaged windscreen isn’t just a cosmetic issue. Even a small chip can weaken the entire glass and potentially spread, especially with temperature changes. It obstructs your vision, and that’s a safety hazard. Think of it like a shield; if the shield is damaged, it can’t protect you properly. You’ll notice if you have a problem, usually as a chip or a crack in your view. Driving with a damaged windscreen could even be a fail on your vehicle inspection, and more importantly, it's just not safe. You can find replacement windscreens like this one over at Fixparts Online, but make sure whichever one you choose meets the safety standards for your vehicle.
