How can a 3″ wide piece of high impact resistant plastic protect my entire windshield from cracking?
• The amount of force applied to the surface of the glass, • The thickness of the glass, and • The amount of stress resident in the area being struck Because of the way windshields are manufactured and mounted in vehicles, the amount of stress around the outer 2-3″ perimeter is significantly greater than inside that area. So any given piece of road debris striking the windshield has a much greater chance of causing a crack if it hits this outer area. In fact, studies have shown that between 65% and 95% of all edge cracks are initiated by a piece of debris striking the outer 2-3″ of the windshield. By providing a protective barrier to the weakest portion of the windshield, EdgeGuard negates this effect — so much so that we back the product with a 3-year warranty! So by installing EdgeGuard on your original windshield, you extend its life to the fullest extent possible. For more information, click here.
