What is Automotive Windshield Market?
The windshield is important part of a vehicle, which means that fixing any windshield damage as quickly as possible is absolutely essential. The windshield glass in the car is made of laminated glass, which is designed to offer the highest levels of safety in the event of a crash. The laminated glass is made up of two pieces of glass, with a thin sheet of vinyl between them. Windshields are actually made from two pieces of glass that are bent in a very precise way. If a windshield does not meet the exact specifications of the manufacturer, it will not fit exactly in the car.
