While modern laminated windscreens are designed to hold together even when damaged, severe cracks significantly weaken their structural integrity. 

Driving with a cracked windscreen increases the risk of further damage from road vibrations, temperature changes, or additional impacts. In extreme cases, the windscreen may fail completely, especially in situations involving sudden pressure changes or accidents. 

Furthermore, a damaged windscreen is less effective at supporting the roof in a rollover collision. Addressing even minor damage promptly prevents the crack from spreading and ensures the safety of passengers.

An improperly installed windscreen poses several risks, including reduced safety during collisions. 

The windscreen provides critical structural support, and improper bonding can compromise its effectiveness. For example, during an accident, the windscreen may detach, increasing the risk of injury to passengers and reducing the effectiveness of airbags. Water leaks, excessive wind noise, and poor visibility due to misalignment are additional issues. These problems not only impact comfort but also diminish the vehicle’s overall performance and resale value. 

Ensuring a professional installation is essential for safety, durability, and peace of mind.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) rely on cameras and sensors often mounted on or near the windscreen to support features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking. When a windscreen is replaced, these systems must be recalibrated to maintain accuracy and functionality.

Recalibration can be static, performed in a workshop using specialised equipment, or dynamic, requiring the vehicle to be driven under specific conditions to align the sensors with the vehicle’s software. Both processes ensure that the ADAS systems correctly detect and respond to road conditions, maintaining the vehicle’s safety features. Skipping this step can lead to malfunctions, putting the driver and others at risk.
