Did you know that your car's windshield acts as a major component of a highly engineered crash management system?

"How does this impact me," you may ask? Well, without proper installation of OEM auto glass windshields and adhesives by certified technicians, it could be a rather serious or even fatal impact. OEM, or Original Equipment Manufacturer parts, means your vehicle's windshield or other auto glass is produced from original equipment-style tooling and meets the manufacturer specifications for safety and quality to protect you in case of an accident.

Your windshield can contribute as much as 60 percent to the support of the roof during roof crush and rollover accidents! In front end collisions, the windshield is the backboard for the passenger side airbag. The windshield actually absorbs the force of the airbag upon deployment of speeds up to 200 miles per hour. Thus, the use of OEM auto glass parts is essential.

Why Only OEM Auto Glass Parts?

Stringent standards. OEM auto glass standards and specifications are more stringent than Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. OEM auto glass standards require 100 percent windshield retention in frontal barrier crash tests, while DOT only requires 80 percent! Would you want to chance your life, and your family's life, to that other 20 percent? Furthermore, the higher standards of OEM auto glass parts ensure that a vehicle can be brought back to pre-accident condition. Some aftermarket parts do not match the tolerance, thickness, and shape of OEM auto glass parts; therefore, they can have a higher rate of leakage, wind noise, imperfect fit, solar performance, and optical distortion. In other words, your safety could be at risk.

Protect your warranty. Installation of OEM auto glass parts will ensure your vehicle manufacturers' auto glass warranties will not be in jeopardy as it would be aftermarket auto glass parts.

The following are just some of the OEM auto glass manufacturers that certain quality Phoenix auto glass shops work with:

• Pittsburg Plate Glass (PPG)
• Carlite
• Ford
• Safeguard/Mopar
• Pilkington
• Asahi
• AP Tech
• Triplex
• Sekurit
• Sicursiv
• Scanex
• Crinamex
• Guardian

Be sure to ask the following questions of any Phoenix auto glass shop that you are considering for auto glass repair and replacement:

1. Do you use OEM auto glass parts, adhesives and glass?
2. Do you use certified auto glass technicians?
3. Do you have a written adhesive usage policy and what is the safe drive away time? (There is only ONE urethane manufacturer whose adhesive has been endorsed and approved for use by all major call manufacturers - Essex Urethane Autoglass Adhesives!)
4. What is the Phoenix auto glass company response time?
5. Is ample time allowed for a proper and safe installation?
6. Are the manufacturer's auto glass specifications followed?
7. Do you offer a transferable lifetime warranty on auto glass parts and workmanship?

Check with your insurance carrier to see if they include Phoenix auto glass shops that provide only OEM auto glass parts and adhesives. Many of the major insurance companies will have a list of Phoenix auto glass shops for you to choose from; however, it is possible that only some of these them will have the quality OEM auto glass parts you desire. You could be improperly steered to a facility of their choice for "cost saving reasons."

The Facts About Tucson Auto Glass

An OEM windshield just means your vehicle's auto glass has been manufactured from the original equipment manufacturer which meets the manufacturer specifications for vehicle safety and quality, protecting you, in case of an accident.

As amazing as it sounds, a vehicle's windshield can vouch for at least 60 percent of the roof support during rollover accidents. Your auto glass is also responsible for supporting your passenger side airbag in front end collisions. You could almost say they're essential if an OEM Tucson windshield can absorb a 200 mph impact from a passenger side airbag.

Whats more important... a cheap windshield or your safety?

Every day people have cheap Tucson auto glass installed in their vehicles unknowingly jepordizing they're passenger's safety. If DOT only requires 80 percent windshield retention in frontal barrier crash tests, and OEM auto glass standards require 100 percent, which one would you rather have in front of you during an accident? Is it worth chancing the lives of your passengers to that other 20 percent?

OEM Tucson Auto Glass Last longer

Not only does OEM auto glass ensure your safety, their parts and installation hardware are much more tolerent and thicker than after market products. This helps to reduce water leaks, wind noise, improper setting, and visual distortion. When installing your new tucson windshield, be sure to have your Tucson auto glass technician use OEM auto glass parts, not aftermarket auto glass parts, unless you want to void your OEM auto glass warranty.

Here is a list of OEM auto glass manufacturers that your Tucson auto glass shop may use:

* Guardian
* Carlite
* Pittsburg Plate Glass (PPG)
* Safeguard/Mopar
* Ford
* Pilkington
* Triplex
* AP Tech
* Asahi
* Sekurit
* Scanex
* Sicursiv
* Crinamex

These are recommended questions to ask your Tucson auto glass shop you may be considering for your Tucson auto glass repair or windshield replacement:

   1. Do you use OEM auto glass, adhesives, and parts?
   2. Are your auto glass technicians certified?
   3. How long will the repair or replacement take?
   4. How soon can you schedule my vehicle?
   5. Is there a warranty on your Tucson auto glass shop's parts and workmanship?

It's not a bad idea to check with your insurance company in Tucson to see which Tucson auto glass shops provide OEM auto glass, adhesives, and parts. Most of the major insurance companies in Tucson will have a list of Tucson auto glass shops to select from. Just do your homework first because you could be sent to an auto glass shop of their choice for cost saving reasons and they may not have OEM auto glass parts. If your insurance is floating the bill, don't you deserve the best?

Jeep Hardtop...?

I am looking to get a hardtop for my '03 Jeep Wrangler X, and I was wondering if a Best Top has the same quality and fit as a factory OEM/Mopar top. Also, would you recommend getting the one or two piece hardtop (Pros and Cons??). Feedback is always appreciated!!! Thank You!!

Best Top has been around for decades. They come out of the box just a bit too small, and are intended to stretch. They will fit just fine.

Having a rag top is in many cases more desirable to a full hard top, because there is always the issue of... what to do with the hard top when it is off. Then again, are you going to want full doors, or half doors with fabric inserts?

Hard tops are arguably more secure, and reduce ALOT of wind/external noise. They certainly look cool... and are more insulated in winter climates. But it must be a hassle to get them on and off. Most Jeep owners who frequently have the hard top removed, will also have a soft top in reserve.
