Can a replaced windshield be the same as the original factory one?

[Reagan]

Generally, windshields replaced at 4S stores are the same as the original factory ones. You can also specifically ask the store before replacement. The functions of a windshield: Laminated glass refers to a type of glass where a transparent adhesive plastic film is placed between two or three layers of glass, combining the toughness of the plastic with the hardness of the glass, thereby increasing the glass's resistance to breakage. Tempered glass is made by quenching ordinary glass to create certain internal stresses, thereby strengthening the glass. When impacted and broken, tempered glass shatters into small pieces with blunt edges, reducing the risk of injury to passengers. Zoned tempered glass is a new variety of tempered glass that undergoes special treatment, allowing it to maintain some clarity in its cracks when impacted, ensuring the driver's field of vision remains unaffected. Currently, most car front windshields are made of laminated tempered glass or laminated zoned tempered glass, which can withstand strong impacts.
