For most drivers, a cracked or chipped windshield is a minor annoyance at worst. However, the front windshield plays a 45% role in the architectural strength of a vehicle during a head-on collision. In the case of a rollover, it plays a 60% role. A compromised glass surface greatly reduces its ability to protect the driver and passengers in case of an accident.

Tempered Glass Windows
The passenger windows, quarter glass, back windshield and sunroof of most vehicles are made out of tempered, rather than laminated glass. Laminated glass breaks into shards when it is shattered. Tempered glass, on the other hand, crumbles into rock-like chunks when it is broken. Tempered glass, on the other hand, crumbles into rock-like chunks when it is broken. It is a safety feature to protect passengers from glass injuries.
Unfortunately, because of the way it is made, it is not possible to repair tempered glass. Damaged windows with this type of glass will require full replacement.
