Why is a cracked or improperly installed windshield dangerous?

The windshield prevents passengers from being ejected during a front collision. Your windshield is an important barrier and a cracked or poorly installed windshield can fail during a collision or roll over allowing passengers to be ejected. Your windshield acts as a backstop for the passenger side airbag. A cracked or poorly installed windshield lacks the structural integrity necessary to absorb the force of a deployed airbag. Your windshield is also part of the roof support in the event the car flips over. A cracked or improperly installed windshield may fail to support the roof under these conditions.


What is the Lifetime Warranty?

Your windshield replacement is warranted in normal use against leaks or installation as long as you own the car. Warranty also applies to manufacturers defects for the lifetime of your car..


What is NOT covered under Warranty?

Leakage or damage caused by pre-existing damage to the window frame or pre-existing rust on the window frame. Also, damage caused to your windshield by impact with foreign objects (rocks, etc.), vandalism, theft, accidents, or reckless conduct resulting in a broken windshield.
