Windshield Safety

Automobile Windshield Safety

Your vehicle's windshield is critical for maintaining its structural integrity, especially during accidents. In a front-end collision, the windshield can contribute up to 45% of the cabin's structural strength, and in a rollover, this figure can rise to as much as 60%. It’s not just about clear visibility—the windshield is a vital component of your vehicle's overall safety system.

The windshield is part of the car's safety restraint system (SRS). It prevents roof collapse in rollovers, ensures airbags deploy correctly, and helps prevent ejection during severe collisions. That’s why it's essential to have your windshield replaced with precision and top-quality materials. Visit our Windshield Replacement FAQ’s page for more details.

Having a certified auto glass technician is essential for a proper windshield replacement. At AGS Auto Glass & Calibrations, our specialists are not only highly trained and certified but also dedicated to ensuring your safety.

Fast-Curing Urethane for Safe Drive-Away Times

We use only premium urethane adhesives that exceed federal safety standards. The urethane bonds your windshield to the pinch weld, and if this bond fails, it could lead to a dangerous windshield detachment. Our fast-curing urethane ensures a strong bond and minimizes drive-away time. In Phoenix, Arizona, our typical safe drive-away time is between one to six hours, depending on the weather conditions. Explore our Nationwide Lifetime Warranty for more details.

Rust-Free Windshield Pinch Weld

A rust-free pinch weld is essential for a secure windshield installation. Rust or scratches on the pinch weld can compromise the adhesive bond, increasing the risk of failure during a collision. At AGS Auto Glass & Calibrations, we meticulously prepare the pinch weld to ensure it's rust-free and properly primed, ensuring maximum adhesion and safety for your windshield replacement.

Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves for Contamination-Free Installation

We take extra precautions to ensure your windshield replacement is flawless. Our technicians wear powder-free nitrile gloves to prevent contamination of the bonding surfaces. Oils and other contaminants can weaken the adhesive bond, so we enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety.
