What is the plastic panel under the windshield?
1 Answers
The plastic panel under the windshield is called the windshield lower trim panel. Below is an introduction to the lower trim panel and the windshield: Solutions for a fallen lower trim panel: First, check the vehicle to see if the plastic clips are still present and determine the cause of detachment—whether it's due to damage or simply coming unclipped. If damaged, purchase new clips for replacement. If unclipped, use a flathead or Phillips screwdriver to remove the unclipped plastic clip and reinstall it. Determine whether the detached part is the main trim panel or the side plugs. For the main panel, purchase new clips, remove the old ones with a flathead or Phillips screwdriver, and install the new clips for repositioning. For the side plugs, reinstall the original parts, which come with plastic clip limiters. Function of the windshield: The windshield differs from other glass panels in a car. It is made of laminated glass, while other panels use tempered glass. The windshield provides a survival space for passengers. Upon impact, it shatters into small, blunt-edged fragments, minimizing injury risks. Modern windshields primarily use laminated tempered glass or zoned tempered laminated glass, capable of withstanding strong impacts.
