How to buy auto glass
Date: March 19, 2018
The quality of glass in a car directly depends on the manufacturer; the life of the driver and his passengers during an accident will depend on what kind of glass is on the car. That is why you should purchase only high-quality factory auto glass, and not counterfeits.
In order to produce high quality auto glass requires: expensive equipment, professional specialists, precise technologies and a corresponding control system.
When purchasing auto glass, you need to pay attention to the following indicators:
- The condition of the glass is that there should be no scratches, chips or other damage.
- Optical distortion. In order for the view of the road to be ideal, the glass should not have any distortions and be completely transparent.
- Quality of edge processing. If the edge on the glass is not processed perfectly (run your finger along the edge), then you have come across a fake.
- Marking. A counterfeit will be revealed by a non-clear or insufficiently straight silk-screen edge line.
- GOST Certificates of conformity must be provided for glass, and the glass itself must bear the appropriate markings.
- Electrically heated rear window. Make sure that the conductor bars are connected to the plugs.
- The thickness of auto glass must be 5.6 – 6.2 mm. Otherwise, it’s fake.
Choosing glass for your car, you should trust only trusted manufacturers. Because your car should serve not only for recreation or work, but the car must also ensure safety for its passengers.
