"In an Accident, Car's Windshield Plays Critical Role"
Provided by: PPG Industries ... watch video
In an accident, your safety could depend on your windshield. If it's been replaced, improper installation, poor quality glass or the wrong adhesive could cause serious problems.
"The windshield is a critical component of your car's safety system," says Russ Corsi, Manager of Technical Services for PPG. "It positions the passenger side airbag. If your windshield becomes dislodged because it was improperly installed, the airbag can't protect the passenger. It also helps support the roof. In fact, the windshield is integral to the structural integrity of the roof. "Corsi says there are four elements to a quality windshield replacement:
-- A professional installer. -- The right glass.
-- The right adhesive.-- A warranty.

Don't take chances with your family's safety...
To stay intact in a collision your windshield must be installed properly !

An improper installation doesn't just cause leaks, noise, & rust...
Your windshield is an important part of the structural integrity & occupant crash protection system of your vehicle.  Glass is part of the unibody frame of your vehicle & provides 25 - 50% of the vehicle's  body strength in a torsion integrity test.
Your windshield not only helps to keep the occupants safely contained in the vehicle - but also aids in proper airbag deployment. Vehicles with passenger side airbags require a windshield to sustain 6 times the force of a vehicle without airbags.
In 1998 there were 9000 fatalities due to vehicle occupant ejection.   If you are involved in an accident - your windshield may be your last line of defense. 
ABC's 20/20 did an extensive piece on the subject of windshield repair safety.  Their conclusion -- "A windshield can be as important to auto safety as seat belts, air bags and anti-lock brakes" - 2/25/00.
