Rear Glass Replacement
The rear window on your car may shatter if you are involved in a car accident or if a piece of road debris hits it. When this happens, you will want to replace the window as quickly as possible to prevent outdoor elements, such as rain, dirt, dust and pests, from entering your car. Replacing the glass also helps to prevent thieves from having easy access to your car.
Rear Glass Replacement
- One of the biggest reasons why there is a price difference when replacing front and back windshields on a car is because they are made from different types of glass. Front windshields are made with laminated glass.
- Laminated glass is composed of two to three layers of glass that are laminated together. If something hits the windshield, the glass is so strong that it should not shatter, helping to protect your face and eyes from flying glass.
- On the other hand, a back windshield is made from tempered glass. Tempered glass is designed to shatter everywhere when broken. But instead of shattering into sharp shards, it is designed to shatter into tiny, sand-like pebbles, helping to prevent glass related injuries.
