Repair broken car rear window

Why to repair car rear window?

Most people realize that it is not safe to continue using the car with a cracked or smashed windscreen. When an accident happens, these small chips or cracks in the front windshield could injure passengers. That’s why the windscreen should be repaired or replaced as soon as it develops a crack or dent in it.

However, most people don’t realize that when this happens to the rear windshield, it needs to do repair or replacement as well. Therefore, it is better not to drive your car with a damaged rear windshield unless necessary.

When looking at the front and rear windshields from a distance, they may be the same. They are large piece of glass used to cover the front and rear of the vehicle, separating the interior from the exterior, and providing visibility to the outside, while protecting the passengers. But when you look closely, you will notice a big difference between them.

The difference between windscreen and rear window

The process for windscreen replacement is very similar to the rear windshield. However, there are several important differences between the two.

Unlike the front windshield, the rear windshield has some horizontal lines running from top to bottom. These wires are very thin electric heating wires that are used to heat the rear window glass and act as a defrost and defogger. This function is important, so the mechanic needs extra handling of these heating wires when doing rear window replacement.

In fact, the materials used for the front windshield and the rear windshield are even more different. The front windshield is made of laminated glass, which won’t completely shatter in either case, remaining the whole window frame.

The rear windshield is made of tempered glass, which will burst if hit. This can make the rear windshield difficult to remove after damage. The right professional auto glass repairer needs to be hired to handle the aftermath and install a new rear windshield.

When you find your car rear windscreen is broken, it is recommended that you use a plastic bag to cover a broken car window, which can temporary fixes the problem. After that, you should find a professional auto glass repair shop to see if your shattered glass needs to do window repair or replacement services.
