Which Piece of Glass on a Car is the Most Expensive?
2 Answers
Normally, the triangular glass on a sedan is the most expensive. Here is some relevant information about car glass: 1. Introduction to car glass: The front triangular glass is located next to the rearview mirror; the rear triangular glass is next to the C-pillar. For sedans, the price of the glass, from highest to lowest, is as follows: triangular glass, sunroof glass, front windshield, rear windshield, and the four side windows (the rear side windows are slightly cheaper than the front ones). 2. Functions of the triangular glass: (1) To prevent excessive tilt of the front windshield, which could create blind spots for the driver. (2) For aesthetic and complementary purposes, the rear also adopts this design, achieving visual harmony and beauty. (3) To enhance lighting for the rear seats and space, improving the visibility for passengers.
When it comes to the most expensive glass on a car, in most cases, it's definitely the windshield. Think about it—that large front windshield is the most prominent, with its big size, complex curved design, and laminated safety glass to prevent shattering. The cost of an original windshield on a new car can range from several thousand to over ten thousand yuan due to special materials and added features like rain sensors or UV protection coatings. Don’t skimp on repairs—poor-quality glass affects driving safety, and a poorly replaced windshield can lead to water leaks or obstructed vision. Last time my car’s windshield was cracked by a stone, it cost me over 2,000 yuan to fix, which is many times more expensive than the side windows that cost just a few dozen yuan—it really hurt! When driving daily, keep a safe distance to avoid stone chips, saving both money and hassle.
