Unfortunately, like most car parts, it&rsquo;s not immune to damage. Tiny cracks can form on its surface, which can get worse over time if you don&rsquo;t address the issue right away. Luckily, there are a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/windshield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"aftermarket windshields\">aftermarket windshields<\/a> available on the market, so you can easily find a great replacement for your ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Is a Windshield Replacement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A windshield replacement can cost around $150 to $300 on parts alone. Some can be priced higher depending on various factors, like their brand and material. Expect to spend around $220 if you want professionals to handle the replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that new windshield prices and labor fees can also vary based on the rates in your area and your vehicle&rsquo;s specific make and model. For instance, if you&rsquo;re replacing a luxury vehicle&rsquo;s windshield, expect to spend around $1,500 for the replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"there are a lot of aftermarket windshields available on the market, so you can easily find a great replacement for your ride\" class=\"wp-image-101432\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/windshield-being-installed.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>There are a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/windshield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"aftermarket windshields\">aftermarket windshields<\/a> available on the market, so you can easily find a great replacement for your ride.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also important to note that you can&rsquo;t install any aftermarket windshield if your vehicle is equipped with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/advanced-driver-assistance-systems-adas-and-the-future-of-everyday-auto-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Advanced Driver Assistance System\">Advanced Driver Assistance System<\/a> (ADAS).

But if you&rsquo;re not sure if your insurance covers it, we recommend double-checking your policy to make sure that it considers car windshield glass replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Windshields Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A windshield gives you an unobstructed view of the road and protects you from the elements that can distract you from driving. But that&rsquo;s not all it does. Windshields have other functions that are important to your vehicle&rsquo;s operation. Here are some of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It Supports the Car Roof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many modern cars have windshields that are bonded to the body with structural glue. The windshield provides support to your vehicle&rsquo;s roof. In case of a rollover accident, it reinforces the integrity of the roof, preventing it from collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It Reduces Glass-Related Injuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Windshields are made of laminated glass, which has two sheets and a Poly Vinyl Butyral (PVB) interlayer in between. The PVB interlayer is the reason why windshields don&rsquo;t shatter as easily as regular glass. This minimizes glass-related injury during a collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It Contributes to Safe Airbag Deployment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The windshield serves as a barrier for the airbags so that they can bounce off and inflate when an accident occurs. To avoid airbag deployment problems, make sure your windshield is in good condition at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It Offers UV Protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying inside your vehicle on sunny days offers some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/simple-ways-to-protect-your-car-from-sun-damage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"protection from the sun&rsquo;s rays\">protection from the sun&rsquo;s rays<\/a>. The windshield provides UV protection, which can keep you and your passengers safe from sunburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Risks of Driving with a Cracked or Broken Windshield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the reasons why you should never drive while your windshield is damaged:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reduced Visibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cracked glass can impair your view of the road. It makes driving dangerous, especially if you&rsquo;re navigating the roads at night or in low-visibility conditions. Driving with a pitted windshield is just as risky because it can cause glares or flashes of blinding light that can distract you while driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cracks, chips, and holes in your windshield can cause water to get inside your cabin on a rainy day. The moisture can promote mold and mildew buildup inside your vehicle. In worst cases, it can also damage electrical wiring and seat upholstery. The control module can also fail if you don&rsquo;t address the issue immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacing the Windshield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re a DIYer, you might be tempted to replace the windshield yourself. Before doing so, make sure that you have the tools to get the job done. Make sure you consult a repair manual that applies to your specific vehicle. If you&rsquo;re not confident with your DIY skills, you can always ask a trusted mechanic to do the replacement for you.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Your windshield is crucial to your safety while on the road.
