In fact, the windshield provides up to 30 percent of a vehicle’s structural strength, maintaining the roof support in a roll over and also allowing the side airbag to properly deploy. This makes it important to maintain the strength of the windshield. If you have a chip under the size of a dollar bill, it can be filled quickly and at a better price compared to a full replacement – and it maintains the windshield’s structural integrity.
