Which Piece of Glass in a Sedan is the Most Expensive?

The triangular small glass in a sedan is the most expensive. Below is relevant information about the production and design of the triangular small glass: Design principles of the triangular small glass: This triangular small glass is uniquely designed. The purpose of this design in the car body is to achieve a visually harmonious and aesthetically pleasing effect for the overall appearance of the vehicle. The side rear of the car incorporates a triangular window design, with chrome trim decorating the upper part of the overall window, and the contour adopts a new style. The triangular window next to the rearview mirror also serves to reinforce the connection between the window and the window lift guide rail, ensuring smoother and more coordinated movement during the window's ascent and descent. This design ensures that the window operates smoothly without any jamming. Reasons why the triangular glass is expensive: Firstly, this small piece of glass is relatively difficult to manufacture, with significant challenges in sealing design during the production process. Even during production, all data must be precisely calculated. Most importantly, it is more prone to aging compared to other car windows. Therefore, during the manufacturing process, in addition to considering sealing, attention must also be paid to issues such as noise and environmental factors that cause glass aging. This makes the use of this particular glass very demanding, which is why its price is higher than that of larger glass pieces.
My friend's car got hit by a stone on the road the other day, and the windshield cracked with a big gap. When he asked at the repair shop, it would cost almost 2,000 yuan to replace it. I was shocked at the time. Later, I checked some information and found out that the windshield is the most expensive glass on a sedan, much more expensive than the rear window or door glass. The main reasons are that the windshield is particularly large and has a laminated design with a plastic layer in the middle, making it less likely to injure people when shattered, so it’s much safer. The installation is also complicated and requires professionals, resulting in high labor costs. If the car is equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems, like collision avoidance radar embedded in the front glass, replacing it also requires recalibration, driving the price even higher. I think this is quite useful information—everyone should slow down when driving past construction sites or on highways, as flying stones can be unpredictable. Regular maintenance should include checking the glass to avoid sudden, costly surprises.
