Cracked windshield: everything that can go wrong

Para-brisas lascado: tudo o que pode correr mal

If you have ever used a car with a cracked windshield, know that the fissures that appear on vehicle windshields, no matter how small, should be repaired as soon as possible. The simple vibration and temperature variations that glass is subjected to are enough to suddenly increase the damage. And there, many things can go wrong. First of all, a broken car window can result in a fine of up to €250, if the authorities determine that the vehicle does not offer optimal visibility conditions. Furthermore, the safety of the airbag’s effective functioning also depends on the windshield. Most airbag systems deploy against the front glass, and if it does not provide the necessary resistance to pressure, the vehicle occupant is in danger. In addition, a broken car window compromises the stability of the vehicle as a whole, “since one of its main functions is to provide stability to the roof in case of an accident,” explain the experts at Carglass.

Furthermore, the presence of fissures, chips, or deformations in the windshield that may disturb the driver’s field of vision also result in failing the mandatory periodic inspections.
