Windshield and Safety The windshield not only has the purpose of protecting the car's passengers from the wind, insects, and other elements that may come in the way, it also supplies greater resistance to the bodywork in case of an accident. Having this glass surface in the front causes up to 30% of the resistance of the vehicle structure to be strengthened. Provides Airbag Support to the Passenger In the same way as the latter, the presence of a windshield in good condition can be used to press and stop the airbag milliseconds after the crash. Exercising this resistance allows the protection measure to inflate downwards to protect the passenger's head. It Also Serves as a Brake on the Destruction of the Roof 1/3

2. In recent years, the structures of the vehicles have undergone strong improvements but still, the dismemberment of the upper part of the car continues to wreak havoc; in a hypothetical accident. However, the windshield exerts pressure to prevent or reduce damage to the roof in the event of an overturn. It is an element that plays an important role in the aerodynamic penetration coefficient. Hence, we find various designs, shapes and sizes that allow a consistent movement of the wind reducing the dynamic resistance of the air for the benefit of the performance and stability of the car.

Sun Protection In the most modern and equipped vehicles, the windshield serves as housing for various sensors, such as the cameras of the Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS), and light and rain sensors are also mounted on the glass for the lights and windshield wipers automatic operations. The windshield is capable of filtering more than 90% of UV rays to protect the passengers in the front seats from the sun's effects. Some would supply thermal protection by incorporating a transparent sheet of metal oxides that reflects infrared radiation and transfers less heat to the passenger compartment, which means less use of air conditioning. The Effects of the Windshield's Acoustic Layer Improves concentration if you happen to be behind the wheel, and it offers a more comfortable and safe driving. The acoustic layer of the windshield reduces the noise level in the passenger compartment by up to 30%, as well as low-frequency hums, aerodynamic noises (high frequencies), and rain noise. One element that makes the difference is the heated windscreen, which can be heated to ease the defrosting and de-icing process. Aside from keeping your windshield clean and uncluttered to get the most of its peripherical view, you must not forget the engine of your car.
