Well, obviously it lets you see out of the car. But it’s much more than that. It’s a structural part of your vehicle, believe it or not. Modern windshields are bonded to the frame with a really strong adhesive, and that actually adds to the car’s overall rigidity, almost like an extra support beam. It also keeps the weather out—rain, snow, wind, all of it. And, crucially, it helps the airbags deploy correctly in a crash. Think of it as the first line of defense. It protects you and your passengers from debris, rocks, and whatever else the road throws up. It also supports the roof in a rollover, keeping the cabin intact. It’s a really critical safety component, not just a piece of glass you look through. You’ll notice if your windshield is cracked or damaged pretty quickly, not just because of visibility, but also because it compromises that structural integrity I mentioned. A cracked windshield isn’t as strong, and it won't protect you as well in an accident. Even a small chip can spread over time with temperature changes and road vibration. It’s really something you want to address promptly for safety reasons. You can find replacements pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. Plus, depending on where you live, a damaged windshield might not pass inspection, so it's good to keep it in good shape. Dedicated to your needs: Glass (MPN 5K0845011ABNVB) comes with a 12-month warranty!
