Windshield Smash Test - 2009 Malibu v. 1959 Bel Air

At Glass Doctor we talk about windshields being essential to proper airbag deployment and the roof structural integrity in today's modern vehicles. If you have a bad windshield replacement and pick a cheap aftermarket windshield for a replacement, your safety may be at risk. This video of a crash test between a 2009 Chevy Malibu and a 1959 Chevy Bel Air proves it. Watch as the airbag protects the passenger because the windshield does not fly out of the vehicle. If you need a windshield replacement, make sure it's provided by a shop that follows the national AGRSS standards.
