What is the purpose of the gap in the front windshield?
1 Answers
The gap in the front windshield serves as an air vent for the air conditioning system and also provides protection for the windshield. Here are the specific details about the front windshield gap: 1. Function: Under sunlight exposure, the dashboard expands as the temperature rises. If the windshield and dashboard were tightly fitted, the expanding dashboard would push against the windshield, which over time could affect its sealing. 2. Defogging: This gap also functions as an air vent for the air conditioning system. When the front windshield fogs up, activating the defogging feature directs warm air through this gap onto the windshield to clear the fog.
