A windscreen chip can turn into a crack more than 80 per cent of the time
Groundbreaking new research has concluded that a windscreen chip can have, on average, more than an 80 per cent chance of developing into a crack when a vehicle is being driven in normal winter conditions, which are common to many countries.
The dramatic findings resulted from tests commissioned by industry expert Belron® (parent company of Autoglass® in the UK) and carried out by Swansea Metropolitan University in a climatic wind tunnel at MIRA, the global centre of excellence for automotive engineering in Warwickshire.
The results were announced at a major international competition, 'Best of Belron 2008' by leading vehicle glass expert, |
