As the type of vehicle we drive has begun to shift towards electric cars, so has the design.
In the past, a panoramic glass roof was something of a novelty reserved for the luxury car industry. But these days, many cars have them installed with electric vehicles featuring them prominently.
This begs the question, what happens if this panoramic glass is damaged? Can a panoramic glass roof be repaired?
In this article, the team at The Windscreen Company will answer these questions explaining everything you need to know about panoramic glass roof repairs.
The legality of driving with a broken panoramic glass roof will depend on the severity of the damage.
If the roof is deemed to be in a dangerous condition, it will be considered illegal. This is because the broken glass poses a hazard to you and other road users. In many cases, the entire vehicle may be considered to be in a dangerous condition because of the broken panoramic glass roof and driving a car in this state is illegal in itself.
Furthermore, sometimes a broken panoramic glass roof may restrict the view of the driver, which is also illegal.
If you are caught driving a car in a dangerous condition, including a broken panoramic glass roof, you could face points on your licence, a fine or even more severe consequences if you are involved in an accident.
With this in mind, it’s essential to get broken glass roofs repaired as soon as possible. And, even if you have a windscreen cover, insurance companies often do not include a broken panoramic glass roof in these policies, so fixing the issue promptly is highly recommended.
Panoramic glass roofs can become damaged for a whole host of reasons.
As well as becoming chipped or cracked by stones, gravel or other road debris, they may also become damaged by severe weather like hailstorms.
Whatever the case, if your glass roof has suffered from any type of damage it is vital you get it fixed as soon as possible. Even minor problems can develop into more serious faults if ignored.
