The clear difference is quality and safety.

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. The windshield is then glued into the window frame of the vehicle, with special primers and adhesives.

The windshield is a major part of the structural integrity of a vehicle. Proper auto glass replacement procedures need to be followed to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers in case of an accident or roll over. If the windshield is installed improperly, it can blow out during a crash or rollover causing serious, or even fatal, injuries to the occupants of the vehicle.

Don't trust your windshield - and your safety - to just anyone. For auto glass replacement in the metro area, turn to Schoonover Bodyworks and Glass.
