Vehicle engineers use the windshield to help support the roof of the vehicle in the case of a rollover accident. The urethane adhesive system is intended to keep the windshield intact – and bonded to the vehicle in an accident – in order to keep passengers from being ejected from your vehicle. If you have a passenger side airbag, the windshield must stay intact for the side airbag to be effective.
