2. The windshield or windscreen of an aircraft, car, bus, motorbike or tram is
the front window. Modern windshields are generally made of laminated
safety glass, a type of treated glass, which consists of two (typically) curved
sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and
are glued into the window frame. Motorbike windshields are often made of
high-impact acrylic plastic.
3. In daily use, windshields mainly protect the vehicle's occupants from wind,
temperature extremes, and flying debris such as dust, insects, and rocks, as well
as providing an aerodynamically formed window towards the front. UV Coating
may be applied to screen out harmful ultraviolet light. As the name implies, on
motorbikes their main function is to shield the driver from the wind, though they
do not do so as totally as those of a car, whereas on sports and racing
motorcycles the main function is improving the drag coefficient when the rider
assumes the most aerodynamic optimal configuration of his or her body in unison
with the machine and does not shield the rider from wind when sitting upright.

6. Many types of stone damage can be successfully repaired. Bulls
eyes, cracks, star breaks or a combination of all three, can be
repaired without removing the glass, eliminating the risk of
leaking or bonding problems sometimes associated with
replacement.
7. Windshield repair is safe, effective, convenient and takes less than
30 minutes to complete. A certified repair specialists can repair
chips, nicks and cracks up to 6 inches long.
A quality windshield repair will restore the structural integrity of the
windshield, help prevent the damage from spreading, and make the
blemish much less noticeable, without removing and replacing the
glass.
