Is There a Warranty Period for the Car's Windshield?
1 Answers
Most vehicles come with a whole-car warranty of 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, and the windshield's warranty period is the same as that of the car. However, damages caused by breakage or collision are not covered under the warranty. Below is some relevant information about windshields: 1. Introduction: The windshield was an idea conceived by Ford in the 1920s, where two pieces of glass were sandwiched together with a layer of PVC plastic in between, creating a 'sandwich' type of glass. This technology is still in use today. 2. Glass Repair: The air inside the glass is vacuumed out, and a special resin is filled into cracks and damages. The resin is then cured using a UV lamp for repair. Practical experience has shown that 85% of damages caused by stone impacts can be repaired using windshield repair kits.
