Genuine OEM Windshields | Capitol Chevrolet in Salem, OR

August 15th, 2024

Maybe a rock flew up and left a small crack in your windshield the last time you were driving on the highway or perhaps you drove through a hailstorm and now your windshield is compromised. It could be that your Chevrolet's windshield has even suffered heavy damage from an accident. No matter your circumstance, even the tiniest hairline crack can cause you big problems later on if you don't act fast to get it fixed. In addition to decreased safety and visibility, other functions on your car, like automatic emergency braking, as well as certain driver assistance features and cameras, may not work properly if a windshield is in less than perfect condition.

At Capitol Chevrolet in Salem, Oregon, rest assured we have the right windshield for your particular Chevrolet model. Our selection of high-quality, original manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts include genuine Chevrolet windshields, which are themselves laminated with a thin layer of PVB between a pair of ultra strong glass. This ensures that, in the event of an accident, the windshield is prevented from completely shattering in every which way.

Benefits of OEM Auto Glass & Driver Assistance Calibration

One great benefit of installing a genuine OEM windshield is the simple yet important fact that the manufacturer provides precise specifications for ensuring that the shield is installed for the most durability and strength possible. And there are select few primers and sealants approved to be used by the original equipment manufacturer. General Motors themselves makes it abundantly clear that, in order to maintain the integrity of the glass and installation, the correct adhesive kit must be used by trained professionals. Otherwise, the function of the windshield may fail, and injury may occur.

Another thing to consider when getting a new windshield installed is your vehicle's monitor cameras. Newer Chevrolet models implement high-tech cameras to keep an extra set of eyes on the traffic patterns going on around you while you focus on driving. Whenever you replace your windshield, those cameras facing the front will need to be recalibrated. Thinking of skipping the pros and installing your new windshield yourself? Your front-facing camera monitors will still need to be brought in to an authorized dealership to perform the recalibration. At Capitol Chevrolet in Salem, OR, our experts are able to complete this task for you using state-of-the-art tech and tools. If you do not ensure that your cameras are recalibrated following your windshield replacement, there is a chance that your automatic braking system may not work properly, leading to the possibility of an accident.
