Hammer in Windshield

Windshield stops hammer from smashing through into car cabin

January 5, 2020 Blog

“Tesla may be developing “armor” glass for its upcoming Cybertruck, but the windows in its current cars appear to be pretty strong.

The built-in dashcam in a Model 3 cruising down a Canadian highway recently captured the moment a hammer bounced off the road and slammed into its windshield.

In the clip posted to the Tesla Revolution YouTube page, the tool can be seen tumbling down the Queen Elizabeth Way highway in St. Catherine, before popping up and smashing, but not penetrating, the windshield.”

Read more about this story and watch the video here.

This incredible video clip shows the moment the hammer (or perhaps tow hitch) is launched from the road and flung into this driver’s windshield. It all happens so fast that there was literally no time to react. Fortunately, the windshield withstood the force of impact and prevented the hammer from entering the car cabin resulting in possible injury.

At Advantage Auto Glass, we know that windshield replacements often come with traumatic experiences from the driver. Dealing with such incidents can be quite stressful and of course, that’s on top of needing to get the windshield replaced. Because of this, our goal is to assist customers as much as possible and ease the burden of the claims process. Visit our insurance faq page or call 612-343-8984 for more information.
