Description

The MAN N1011042159 is a windscreen designed to protect the occupants of a vehicle from the elements and provide a clear field of vision for the driver.

This windscreen is constructed to meet stringent safety standards, offering enhanced impact resistance and optical clarity. Its dimensions are 200 x 1100 x 2400 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

The windscreen’s main job is pretty straightforward—it keeps the weather out, obviously. Rain, snow, wind, dust, leaves…you name it. It also provides a clear view of the road for the driver. But it does a lot more than just that. Modern windscreens are actually a structural part of the vehicle now. They contribute to the roof’s strength and help with how the car behaves in a rollover. They also offer some UV protection for you and the interior. Think of it like this—it’s not just a piece of glass stuck on the front. It acts like a shield against everything the road throws at you and your passengers. It's integrated with the frame of the car to add to its overall rigidity. Plus, a lot of vehicles now have things bonded to the windscreen like sensors for lane assist, automatic headlights, or even rain detection. It's a surprisingly complex piece.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

You'll notice if your windscreen is damaged pretty quickly. A chip or crack, even a small one, can seriously distort your vision, which is obviously dangerous. But beyond that, a compromised windscreen weakens the whole structure of the car. A badly damaged screen might not hold up in an accident the way it’s supposed to. It’s a safety feature, not just a convenience. If you're looking to replace one, you can find a good selection over at Fixparts Online. Replacing a damaged windscreen is really about maintaining the safety and integrity of your vehicle.
