"There are over eleven (11) million windshield replacements
done every year. It's a complicated job that requires skill and training in the
use of primers, adhesives, and proper handling. Unfortunately, installers don't
have to be licensed or certified. And as experts say, installers are making
mistakes.. mistakes you may not know about until its too late." FACT: The NHTSA classifies the Windshield as the primary component of a vehicle's safety restraint system. FACT: National statistics show nearly 8 out of 10 auto glass replacements fail to be installed properly and safely. Such revealing information makes it important for the Staff at Visions Auto Glass & Repair to define what we do, what we stand for, and why we refuse to do it any other way. At Visions we don’t simply "replace glass". We reconstruct vehicle safety restraint systems, of which the windshield plays a primary role, to the original equipment manufacturers’ strict specifications. To do any less compromises the safety of the occupants. In compliance with Federal Regulations, today’s vehicles are engineered so the windshield has become a major structural component of the chassis. It is designed to keep passengers inside the vehicle during an accident as well as prevent roof-crush in a rollover.
Proper windshield installation requires a properly trained professional using the correct materials and procedures. The auto glass industry has developed the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) which have quickly become the benchmark for insuring a properly installed windshield. If you would like to view a copy of the AGRSS Standard visit agrss.com. We highly recommend that you make sure your windshield is replaced by a company that is familiar with these standards and abides by them.For your safety and the safety of your passengers, you need an expert to replace your auto glass. You and your family deserve the best… Don’t settle for less!

A properly installed windshield will stay bonded to the vehicle during an
accident. Without your windshield in place your
airbags are useless. It is also imperative in an accident the occupants
remain inside the vehicle. SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT that become ejected do not
survive. Ten percent of all accidents are rollovers. Should the windshield
release from the vehicle during the rollover, the a-pillars by themselves cannot
support the weight of the vehicle and the roof will crush down on the occupants
causing serious injury or worse.
