Irvine Back Glass Replacement
Back glass is mostly made of tempered glass. Thus, its breakage is different from windshield breakage. Tempered glass (back glass) “explodes” into small pieces when it breaks while laminate (windshield) mostly remains intact. This is designed for safety purposes whereby you are not trapped in your vehicle.
At Auto Glass Repair of Irvine, we have certified technicians who have the required skills set on back glass replacement in Irvine. Contact us through our main line (949) 518-0619 so that our technicians can provide you with our wide variety of services.
Common Causes of Back Glass Damage
Several factors cause the damage of back glass. Let have a quick look at these.
Debris and Stones
Road debris and stones sometimes fly off the road and crash onto the back glass, causing it to crack or even shatter. Sometimes, other cars on the road kick up stones that hit your back glass, resulting in the back glass’ damage
Collisions
They do happen from time to time and can result in damage to the back glass. Flying hockey, cricket, and golf balls can result in damage to the back glass.
