What Is the Process for Recycling the Old Windshield?
Recycling old windshields involves collecting them, cleaning them, and then crushing them to separate the glass from the plastic layer (PVB). The glass is repurposed for new products, while the PVB is recycled for various uses. This process reduces waste and promotes sustainability by repurposing materials.
Will the new windshield affect the functionality of the car's advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) if equipped?
Camera and Sensor Alignment: Many ADAS features rely on cameras and sensors mounted on or near the windshield. Even a slight misalignment during installation can cause these systems to misread data, leading to malfunctions.
Windshield Quality: The optical properties of the windshield itself can be important for some ADAS systems. A new windshield that isn't calibrated to your specific car's ADAS system might distort the image reaching the cameras, affecting their performance.
