How can I tell if the damage on the windshield of my Tata Indigo ECS is purely cosmetic or compromises the windshield's structural integrity?
Distinguishing cosmetic from structural damage on your windshield requires attention to size and location. Generally, small chips (under the size of a quarter) and cracks shorter than 3 inches are cosmetic. However, any damage within your direct line of sight or larger cracks can compromise the structural integrity.
What safety standards should a replacement windshield meet in Prem Nagar, Dehradun?
GoMechanic in Prem Nagar, Dehradun uses laminated glass with a BIS mark for the safety of replacement windshields. This ensures the windshield for your Tata Indigo ECS meets impact resistance standards and shatters safely. It is then properly installed by our trained technicians.
Can using windshield wipers with worn blades damage a new windshield?
Absolutely. Worn wiper blades can scratch your windshield, even a brand new one. The rubber degrades over time, leaving behind exposed metal or hard debris that can grind against the glass. These scratches can worsen with continued use, potentially requiring another windshield replacement.
How can I identify the specific type of windshield currently installed in my car?
To identify the current windshield installed in your car, you can either look for any marking on the windshield or go through your car’s manual.
