Vehicle Safety - Why Your Windscreen Matters
When people think about vehicle safety, they often think about tyres, brakes and airbags. However, your windscreen is one of your vehicle’s most important safety features. It not only provides clear visibility but also helps maintain the structural integrity of your vehicle, contributing to the strength of the cabin and supporting the correct deployment of the front passenger airbag in many vehicles.
A damaged windscreen can affect both visibility and the strength of the glass. If left unrepaired, even a small chip can quickly spread into a larger crack due to road vibrations, potholes and changes in temperature. Repairing windscreen damage early is one of the simplest ways to help maintain your vehicle’s safety while preserving your original factory fitted windscreen.
The UFIXIT Windscreen Repair Kit permanently repairs chips, bullseyes, star cracks and cracks before they spread. Available from Supercheap Auto, Repco, Autobarn, Amazon, or ask for UFIXIT at your local auto accessory store.
Your windscreen is part of your vehicle’s safety system
Engineers design modern windscreens to do much more than keep the weather out.They form part of your vehicle’s overall safety system, helping support the roof, maintain cabin strength and contribute to occupant protection in the event of a collision.
Keeping your original factory fitted windscreen in good condition helps preserve the way your vehicle was designed to perform.
Why repairing damage early matters
Small chips rarely stay small. Everyday driving, potholes, road vibrations and changing temperatures can all cause damage to spread, increasing the likelihood that a repair may no longer be possible.
Repairing windscreen damage early helps:
Maintain clear visibility.
Restore the strength of the damaged area.
Reduce the risk of the damage spreading.
Help keep your original windscreen on the vehicle for longer.
