[QUOTE="-fm-, post: 588388, member: 14650"] Talking about modern cars windscreen, which are glued to the body instead of using rubber gaskets for cars of yesteryears..... The factory fitted w/scrn is glued with special type OEM std glue /silicon, dispensed by robots for consistency. Modern cars, glued w/scrn also functions as part of the bodyshell, which adds rigidity to the whole thing, and also during accidents, there is much lower risk for the w/scrn to detach. Many owners with w/scrn insurance coverage always want to utilise the insurance to replace the w/scrn, which is wrong, even for small damage/chip, which can be repaired. Small chips/cracks should be repaired asap to avoid the cracks from getting longer. Replace the w/scrn only as a last resort.
