OEM Nissan Auto Glass
See Clearly with OEM Auto Glass
When it comes to keeping your car running great, Nissan Canada knows you want the best. Auto glass includes windshields, door windows, rear windows, and quarter glass. These components provide visibility, weather protection, and structural support. Factory glass uses specific thickness and tinting that meets safety standards. Laminated windshields prevent shattering during impacts.
How Auto Glass Protects Occupants
Your windshield consists of two glass layers bonded to a plastic interlayer. This lamination prevents glass from separating during impacts. Tempered side and rear glass shatters into small pieces rather than sharp shards. The windshield provides structural support for the roof during rollovers. Glass bonding to the body creates a sealed cabin. Acoustic interlayers in premium glass reduce road noise. Nissan glass for vehicles like the Maxima and Titan includes heating elements for defrosting. UV coating protects interior materials from sun damage. Rain sensors integrate into windshield glass on some models. Glass thickness varies by location to balance weight and strength. Proper installation ensures auto seals function correctly. Advanced driver assistance system cameras mount to windshields and require calibration after replacement.
What Damages Auto Glass
Windshields develop cracks from rock impacts that spread with temperature changes. Door glass scratches from dirt in window channels. Rear window defroster elements break from cleaning with sharp objects. UV exposure weakens the plastic interlayer over time. Improper installation creates leaks around glass edges. Generic aftermarket glass may not fit body contours precisely. Extreme temperature changes stress glass and cause cracking. Structural flexing from rough roads propagates existing damage. Poor-quality glass has optical distortions that affect visibility. Vandalism creates chips or breaks. Wiper blade debris scratches windshields during operation.
Knowing When Glass Needs Replacement
Replace windshields when cracks extend into the driver's field of vision. Chips larger than a quarter typically cannot be repaired effectively. Multiple chips in a concentrated area weaken the glass structure. Cracks at glass edges spread rapidly and require replacement. Most windshields last 10 to 15 years before developing problems. Repair small chips promptly to prevent spreading. Door glass that won't seal properly needs replacement. Defroster elements that no longer heat indicate glass replacement. Check for leaks around glass edges during heavy rain. Genuine Nissan auto glass fits precisely in body openings and includes correct tinting and features like rain sensors, unlike aftermarket glass that may require modifications or lack factory options.
