All windshields come with a lifetime no-leak warranty.
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT OEM PARTS
The quality and fit are more reliable. Only OEM parts ensure that a vehicle can be brought back to pre-breakage condition. Some aftermarket parts do not match the tolerance, thickness, and shape of OEM parts; they can have a higher rate of leakage wind noise, imperfect fit, and optical distortion. OEM parts have fewer leaks and fit-related problems than some aftermarket parts. Warranties remain in force. Some features of vehicle manufacturers' warranties may be in jeopardy when aftermarket parts are installed. Solar performance is assured with OEM glass. Some aftermarket glass parts do not meet manufacturers' requirements for blocking the sun's heat rays, causing passenger discomfort, degradation of interior surface, and overload of air conditioning systems.

All B&B Plate Glass installers undergo our own internal training program, which we think is first rate. B&B Plate Glass follows manufacturers' service bulletins, and gets regular training updates from car manufacturers and makers of auto glass and adhesive sealants. Our installers use clean gloves when carrying glass, and apply the correct primer before laying down the adhesive. We also give your new glass installation a thorough cleaning before we are through. This ensures safety and a quality installation.
Glass is a structural component in today's automobiles. Your automobile relies on its glass to resist crushing on impact, and to keep you inside the vehicle in an accident. Also, windshields must be installed properly and stay in place for passenger side-airbags to function properly in a crash. Modern windshields are designed to keep passengers inside the car during an accident. This is a federal safety standard. Passenger-side airbags rely on windshields to function properly. These airbags use the windshield as a "backstop" in deployment. The windshield needs to stand up against the force of the airbag, and remain in place. Proper glass installation is imperative for this to happen. Auto Glass must be installed properly to help the passenger compartment resist crushing in rollover accidents. Auto Glass plays a critical role in the safety of your automobile.
Auto Glass is required to meet federal safety standards. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards describe the required performance of windshields in these kinds of accidents. Standard 212 is for occupant retention, 216 for rollover, and 218 for passenger side-airbags. B & B Plate Glass installation procedures are designed to allow the glass to perform these vital functions.
What exactly is Safety Glass?
Windshields are made of laminated glass. There are three layers-two outer glass sheets with a urethane plastic center bonded in-between. The plastic inner layer reduces the chance of occupant penetration in a crash, and keeps the glass from separating into flying shards. Some side and back glass is laminated, as well. Side and back safety glass is usually tempered glass. This means that a solid sheet of glass is cooled quickly in the manufacturing process, which creates a different hardness in the outside and center of the window. As a result, the glass shatters into square pebbles rather than sharp shards in an accident. Risk of laceration and abrasion is greatly reduced.
Auto Glass Safety Tips
1. Keep your automobile's glass clean at all times. The fact is that if you can't see clearly through your glass, you may be in for trouble. Maintain a good supply of washer fluid in your car's reservoir. One piece of good advice to follow is to keep a scraper, squeegee, and de-icer handy if weather requires it.
2. Replace your wiper blades at the first sign of wear for safe driving in inclement weather conditions. Don't run wipers with worn blades over your windshield or you may permanently scratch it.
