Windshield
Over the years, windshield technology has significantly improved in terms of design, materials, and functionality. The concept of a windshield can be traced back to the early days of automobiles. Drivers had to deal with the elements like we do today. The glass in the early 1900’s is not the glass of today.

From Shatter Everywhere to Shatter Proof
In the 1890’s, auto glass and windshields were made of ordinary glass, which posed a significant safety risk. In the event of an impact, the glass would shatter into sharp fragments, causing severe injuries driver and passengers.
In 1905, Eduardo Benedictus introduced laminated glass which would revolutionize the automotive industry. Eduardo used a sheet of celluloid, or laminated glass, which consists of two layers of glass with a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sandwiched in between. This construction allows the windshield to remain intact even when shattered, preventing the glass from flying into the vehicle’s cabin. Laminated glass also offers improved visibility by reducing glare and blocking harmful UV rays.
Impact Resistant Energy Absorption
When a vehicle experiences an impact, the windshield acts as a barrier, absorbing and dispersing the energy across its surface. This energy absorption helps to minimize the force transferred to the occupants, reducing the risk of injury. Modern windshields are designed to withstand various types of impacts, including collisions with other vehicles, debris, and even rollovers.

Common windshield damage include chips and cracks, which can compromise the structural integrity of the windshield and impair visibility. In such cases, windshield replacement becomes necessary to ensure the continued safety of the vehicle’s occupants.
Made in USA Auto Glass vs OEM Auto Glass vs OEE Auto Glass
Made in USA auto glass is produced in state-of-the-art facilities across the nation. USA auto glass undergoes rigorous testing to meet the highest industry standards. Made in China auto glass is usually imported from Shangdong Donghao Autoglass, or other such manufacturers, and does not meet OEM structure safety standards.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is produced by the same manufacturer that supplied the original windshield for the vehicle. It is designed to meet the exact specifications and quality standards set by the automaker.
Original Equipment Equivalent (OEE) on the other hand, is manufactured by third-party companies and is often more affordable than OEM glass.
OEM glass is generally considered to be of higher quality due to its precise fit and adherence to the automaker’s specifications. This is particularly important for modern windshields, which are often integrated with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking. A properly installed windshield is crucial for the optimal functioning of these systems.
