What is involved in the repair and replacement service?

The windscreen is a critical component to car structural integrity, it supports your roof and adds rigidity as your roof rolls over. The windshield is made up of two pieces of glass with a clear plastic layer in between. The layers are fused together in a process called lamination, which increases the strength of the glass layers.
