Is a Car with Replaced Glass Considered an Accident Vehicle?

[MaddoxMarie]

Replacing the glass does not necessarily mean the car is an accident vehicle. There are various reasons for glass replacement, and it's important to determine whether the replacement was due to an accident or an unexpected event. If the glass was damaged and replaced due to a collision, then the car is considered an accident vehicle. However, if the glass was damaged by an unforeseen and unavoidable incident, such as a flying stone, it is not classified as an accident vehicle. The definition of an accident vehicle includes: 1. Vehicles that have suffered severe impacts damaging the engine compartment or the passenger compartment; 2. Vehicles with collision damage to the radiator support; 3. Vehicles where the rear quarter panel has suffered impact damage exceeding half of its area. Generally, an accident vehicle refers to one with structural damage, and vehicles affected by flooding or fire are also categorized as special types of accident vehicles.
