1 Answers
Replacing the front windshield may cause some devaluation since it's not the original factory part. However, there's no need to be overly concerned. The front windshield is considered a wear-prone component, and while the car might depreciate slightly more when resold after replacement compared to before, the difference is usually minimal.

Over 40 years ago, single-piece curved windshields began replacing flat windshields in passenger vehicles. Functions of Automotive Windshields: Laminated glass consists of two or three layers of glass bonded with a transparent plastic interlayer. This combination harnesses the toughness of plastic and the hardness of glass, significantly enhancing the glass's resistance to breakage.
