Some Interesting Facts about Car Windshield’s History

The invention of Automobile was an important event in the world of transit technology. At the beginning, it was a norm for the drivers to put on specs while driving the car, as the first automobiles did not have a windshield. Therefore, the motorists had to put on specs to keep off the bugs, dust and other climatic conditions. This was however a temporary solution to the problem and something had to be done to complete the automobile.

The windshield in the car was commencing in 1904. The mechanism of this windshield was quite different from what we see today.

The initial windshields were two piece contacts and were interlinked with each other in a way that if one segment of the windshield became unclean, the driver had the ease to fold down the first half of the windshield and use the other half of the windshield that was clean. However, this mechanism improved with the advent of technology and time.

The early windshields were quite unsafe because they were manufactured of plate glass. The manufacturers soon realized this and replaced the plate glass with laminated glass as eventually it was concluded that the laminated glass had more resilience and resistance towards collision.

The windshield wipers were later invented in 1916 in order to ensure safety for cars and there windshields.
Windshield has always been an important part of the car and a subject of research and analysis for the scientists. There has been vigorous development involved in order to design methods by which windshield’s technology can improve relatively; chances are that this development will continue in future.

  8. There is nothing worse than shattering a perfectly good sheet of glass! Whether it's a review mirror or windshield, it is always a pain to replace. Unfortunately jobs like this can also get pretty costly and it's not something that most people try to do on their own. That's why it is so important to have an auto glass repair shop that you can always rely on with low costs and speedy timing.
