- Laminated glass has a plastic layer between two glass sheets. Your technician checks the replacement's fit and the features your vehicle uses.

Safety Tips While the Windshield Is Damaged

- Loose fragments are pieces that have separated from the pane. Keep hands, skin and eyes away from them, and keep passengers away from affected seats.
- Cabin protection means keeping water away from the interior. Park under shelter when you can do so safely without driving with an obstructed view.
