Windscreen savers:
A good windshield not only provides good visiblity but also does not shatter on impact and it is leak proof.
As per the Central Motor Vehicles Rules which came into force in 1996, front windshield of the car should be made of laminated glass. Laminated windshield is nothing but sandwitching a layer of plastic material between two glass sheets. Apart from the laminated glasses, there is one more type of glass – tempered glass which is less expensive. Tempered glasses explode on impact into thousands of tiny fragments. Since chances of accidents are low in side and rear part of the car, tempered glasses are used in side and rear windows. Regarding the visibility, front windshield and rear window should have more than 70% visual transmission which should be 50% for the rear.
Let’s see what makes Windshields different from the company’s showroom is “time and price” according to windshield. Normally it takes 2-3 days to replace the windshield in company’s showroom but Windshield experts take barely not more than three hours to do the same job. Additionally, if your windshield is broken and unable to move your car, you can just contact your nearest windshield expert outlet or you can dial the toll free number 1800-11-3636 and tell them, Windshield will take care of the rest. Windshield Expert charges additional price for this (depends on the distance from the windshield outlet). But considering the safety, this is a valuable service. Tempered glass may be of green(with sunscreen) or clear(without sunscreen) type. WE(Windshield Experts) offers windshields even for the grandma’s car ‘padmini’ at an affordable price. Since the WE is Vendor cum manufacturer they offer windshields at 75% of showroom’s price. For example windhshield for Hyundai santro costs Rs5300 in Windshield Expert whereas in Hyundai’s showroom it may cost between Rs7000 -9000.
Similar to the company’s showroom, WE offers insurance and warranty for a year which covers the leakage and any manufacturer defect is covered. Glasses with rear wiper and defogger(heated glass) costs little over the normal glasses. Windshield claims it can repair the glasses with chips(thus saving the cost without replacing), but it can be done only on chips and cracks(if the damage area on the windshield is less than 40mm). The replacement or repair service is done by specialist who are trained to AGE(Automotive Glazing Europe) standards which ensures safety. WE not only helps in safer installation of Windshield, it also helps in insurance claims. Windshiled says, it offers cashless transactions for policy holders. WE has tied up with many leading insuarance companies to facilitate easy claim. In addition the WE offers few value added products such as
