What Causes the Rear Windshield of a Car to Suddenly Shatter?
1 Answers
Reasons for the rear windshield shattering without any apparent cause: It is due to excessive air pressure inside the vehicle. Below is an introduction to windshields: Functions of the windshield: Windshields are categorized into laminated glass, tempered glass, and zoned tempered glass. Laminated glass combines the toughness of plastic with the hardness of glass, enhancing the glass's resistance to breakage. When tempered glass is impacted and shatters, it breaks into small, blunt-edged fragments, reducing the risk of injury to passengers. Zoned tempered glass undergoes special treatment, allowing it to maintain a certain level of clarity in the cracks when impacted, ensuring the driver's field of vision remains unaffected. Windshield maintenance: Use windshield washer fluid appropriately. During regular windshield maintenance, choose the right washer fluid based on the season and weather conditions. When the windshield surface appears blurry, cleaning it with suitable washer fluid can restore clarity. If the glass reflects light irregularly at night, it can also be wiped with washer fluid. Additionally, during highway driving or in dusty conditions, washer fluid is consumed quickly, so it's important to replenish it promptly.
