When a vehicle rolls over or when it crashes head-on, the windshield is largely responsible for keeping the vehicle’s structural strength as it makes up 30% of its structure. On top of that, the windshield allows for the airbags to be properly deployed to make sure the passengers are protected. A brand-new, well-installed windshield helps the vehicle regain its structural strength. It’s something that should not be overlooked.

My vehicle was smashed into and now I have a broken side window. What do I need to do?

Useful tip: Your home insurance policy may cover some of the things that were stolen from your vehicle. For more information, get in touch with your insurer.
When will I be able to get behind the wheel of my vehicle safely again?
Under normal conditions, you will be able to hit the road right after your windshield has been repaired or your side window replaced. Please note that a 30-minute wait is recommended after the replacement of a windshield.
The person that will have taken care of the work will tell you if more time is needed.
