	Windshield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern windshields are generally made of laminated safety glass, which consists of two curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and are glued into the window frame.
		Earlier windshields were made of toughened glass and were fitted in the frame using a rubber or neoprene seal.
		A wiperless windshield is a windshield that uses a mechanism other than wipers to remove snow and rain from the windshield.

	An Evaluation of Windshield Glazing and Installation Methods for Passenger Cars
		Windshield penetration was believed to be the cause of most of the disfiguring or disabling head injuries associated with windshield contact.
		In the study of the effect of windshield installation method on ejection, the "injury" analysis of occupant ejection rates was accompanied by an "engineering" analysis of windshield retention in crashes.
		When an occupant's head strikes a safety-glass windshield and tears and penetrates the plastic interlayer, the risk of serious lacerations or fractures to the face, scalp, eyes, nose or mouth is 3 times greater than when the impact merely breaks the glass but leaves the plastic layer intact.

		Once the windshield is cut free from the top and sides, push gently out and install more shims to separate it from the body.

		Once the windshield is in its proper place slide the spacers out and press the windshield in place by gently pushing down around the edges.

	Windshield Repair
		Windshield repair or replacement depends on the size, location and severity of the damage.
		In addition to the cost of the windshield itself, a windshield molding kit and installation labor must be factored into the overall replacement cost.
		Windshield repair involves injection of a special resin into the damaged area using a tool that attaches directly to the glass.

	Glass-Plastic Windshield Glazing
		The glass- plastic windshield is of similar design with the exception of an inner plastic liner (polyurethane) that is bonded to the inside glass ply -- i.e., the side of the windshield which faces the passenger compartment.
		While glass-plastic windshields were expected to substantially reduce lacerative injuries, there was concern that the inner plastic layer, being a much softer material than glass, could be susceptible to damage that could degrade driver visibility and reduce windshield durability.
		The higher component and durability costs of the glass-plastic windshield, compared to that for a conventional windshield, would appear to be high relative to the injury reduction benefits that might be realized from the glazing.
