What you should know about your windshield.  

Your windshield is constructed of two layers of tempered glass with a thin film of vinyl between them. Once in place, the entire windshield provides strength and structural integrity.You may think it is just there to protect you from bugs and flying debris but actually your windshield is part of the safety restraint system. It is designed to keep weather and exterior elements out and the passengers safe within. When it's damaged, it becomes a safety hazard. Since the majority of driving decisions are dependent upon visual cues, it is vital to keep the windshield in good condition.  That means repairing damage quickly so you don’t put yourself and others at unnecessary risk.

• Protection: Your windshield keeps most objects from penetrating the surface, keeping passengers safe. It is part of the sensory system for the safety restraint system. That means if it isn’t in tact, the air bags may malfunction during a crash.
• Legalities: When you are driving with a damaged windshield you are taking a chance of getting a ticket. Authorities recognize the importance of a clear line of sight. Don’t risk driving if damage is severe. 

Auto glass repair specialists are only a call away 

Albany is known for its festivals and night life as much as it is for its historical and political significance. The city is alive and everyone is always on the go. No one wants to spend their extra time in an auto glass repair shop. That’s why the teams at 1-800-Windshield want to work quickly to get you back on the road safely. When you call, you can expect expert technicians to assist with any of these common windshield dilemmas: 

• Fine lines and damage on the surface. Your windshield is exposed to so much abuse, that it isn’t surprising the outer layer is the mostly likely to be damaged. A big culprit of superficial lines on the surface of the glass is a faulty wiper blade. You can avoid this damage by getting them repaired at the first sign of wear. You should still have a technician review the damage to prevent bigger problems.
• Fractures and chips to the outer layer of glass. Damage to top layer of glass usually presents itself in the form of chips and small fractures. This is typically caused by small rocks that get kicked up while driving. While the impact doesn’t shatter the glass, a chip is a moderately serious problem. Vibrations from driving can aggravate them and cause a chip to quickly spread in to an obstructive spider crack. If you catch this early, repairs can be made under an hour.
• Major damage to the entire windshield. The windshield is strong but when an object or incident shatters or penetrates the windshield it becomes a serious safety hazard and should be replaced immediately.  Most insurance companies will cover the replacement with very little to no out of pocket costs.
