Safety at the wheel is one of the essential requirements for enjoying maximum comfort during a long journey. In this regard, one of the most important elements of the vehicle is the windscreen, as it is responsible for protecting both the cabin and the truck’s occupants, and prevents the entry of objects from outside that could cause serious damage. For this reason, carrying out proper vehicle glass maintenance is essential.
However, carrying out this maintenance can be a complex task in certain vehicles, since a truck windscreen has different characteristics compared to tractor windows, cars or vans, among others. At Ralarsa, a glass workshop specialising in the repair and replacement of vehicle glass of all types, we explain how truck windscreen maintenance is carried out. Read on to find out more!
Truck windscreen repair and replacement
As with any type of vehicle, a truck must have a windscreen in optimal condition. However, due to the size and other inherent characteristics of this vehicle, carrying out truck windscreen repair or replacement and replacing other windows can be a complex task. This requires the intervention of two specialists and scaffolding to allow access to the correct working height.
In today’s market, there are two types of truck glass: those that are bonded and those set with rubber. While the former are bonded using polyurethane adhesive and require several hours to dry, glass set with rubber allows the truck to be used immediately after installation. Not sure which windscreen to install in your truck? At the Ralarsa glass workshop we will advise you on which option best suits your needs!
In addition to protecting from any external object in the vicinity of the vehicle, a truck windscreen also prevents the roof from collapsing in the event of an accident, a situation that could cause serious damage to the cabin and its occupants. For this reason, if you detect any incident in one of your truck’s windows or need help with other tasks such as replacing an electric window regulator cable, the Ralarsa glass workshop recommends visiting a sector specialist as soon as possible.
