 Earl Glanshaw, foreman here at Township Chevrolet for another edition of Tech Talk. We're going to briefly touch on windshields and some of the things that people might not think about that it may affect in your safety system in your car. I've got Sean McEwen here. He's our windshield technician. Kind of run over a few things that maybe you guys don't think about. Something beyond just the visual safety aspects of it with a crack or a chip from the windshield. So go ahead there, Sean. Thanks, Earl. A couple of things I would like to touch on is safety issues concerning a windshield and your vehicle. A lot of people are not aware how important a windshield is. If you're in what's called a catastrophic rollover type of accident, a windshield plays a very strong part in keeping the roof of your vehicle from collapsing down onto the occupants within the car. This is due to the shape and the position of the windshield, which allows that. The other big safety issue is if you're in what's called a catastrophic head-on collision, the windshield is actually the backstop for your passenger airbag. As compared to on the driver's side, it is a steering column that stops the airbag. On the passenger side, it is a windshield that actually stops your airbag. So it is a real big safety feature if you're in really any kind of accident out on the road. That's really it for safety. If there's any chips in it, if a windshield is compromised in the least, it kind of defeats the purpose of having it part of that structural integrity of the car. So I'm going to pass it back to Earl here and he can talk about camera systems, which come in a lot of windshields now. Just one thing to keep in mind when you're getting your windshield changed. You want to make sure, obviously, you've got a qualified person like Sean here to install the windshield. And you also want to make sure you've got a quality windshield. Vehicles today have a lot of integral things in the windshield, such as you've got heater grids up front for your wipers to keep your wiper blades from sticking or icing up. You've also got a camera system in these for an object detection or collision detection systems. The windshield has got to be sitting there just right and just flat with the right amount of urethane all around the windshield or else it can throw off the spec of that. And it really should be recalibrated when the windshield's replaced. So some of those different glass companies that may not have the right size opening or the right thickness of glass could really throw out the calibration of that system and could cause that system not to work properly. And it may or may not set a trouble code or set up a warning in your dash to let you know that system's not working. So you definitely want to make sure, no matter where you get your windshield installed, you want to make sure you've got a qualified guy doing it. You want to make sure it's a quality windshield. And all the safety features and systems in this vehicle to work like they're supposed to when they leave the factory. So yeah, just a few things that maybe you guys didn't realize. Chips and cracks, yeah, they're annoying. They don't look good and they might be in the way of your vision but it goes even beyond that with the structural integrity of your vehicle, like Sean talked about. Also for the backstop, for the airbags, another big thing. And of course obviously all these cameras and the heater grids and all that stuff that's in the vehicles these days. So they put those safety features in your vehicle. They all tie in together with other parts and aspects of the car. Crumple zones, airbags, seat belt retractors, windows, all that stuff together has to work in harmony. So if God forbid every one day, you know, you and your occupancy occupants had an accident that those systems can work like they're supposed to. So if you got a crack or a chip in your windshield, just go on our website and make an appointment or call us down here and talk to someone and let them know you want Sean to have a look at it and see if it's something needs to be fixed or it needs to be replaced. And we look forward to doing business with you and have a good day.
