windshield

First up, I don't think new cars uses "mouldings" anymore for sealing, 9/10 times the rubber that you see is just for aesthetics purposes. The only thing holding the windshield to the frame is the auto-glass specific sealant. Only older cars use the rubber seal thing these days.

Don't be fooled by "tropicalized" BS, the Phil is a tropical country just like A LOT of other countries near the equator. There's no way that Phil is hotter than a desert country or other "right in the middle of the equator" nations.

If your Jimny is insured, go through them, windshield is the ONLY non-depreciating part claimable sa insurance.

You'll probably pay less sa participation compared to getting a new glass from aguila since you'll have to pay for labor and the sealant anyway.

di naman talaga LAPAT ang mouldings.... sa taas may gap talaga kunti at may canal talaga dyan, for the water to drip..

to convince yourself (as what the installer did) papara ka ng taxi he he he, and pry open the moulding on his windshield.

Modern windshields are glued on. Kaya ang lapad ng 'black out' nila sa paligid. The black paint hides the adhesive.

So that they won't have to be burdened with making the edges of the blackout paint straight, they use paint dots near the edges. Also called a 'dot matrix'. I forgot the Banawe-speak for the dot matrix. I think they call it the 'flower'. Why? I don't know. hehehe.

Aguila din ginamit naman na salamin when the windshield of my dad's oldie Benz (a '72 W115) got shattered quite a few years ago. AFAIK, nagamit pa ulit yung mouldings (or wala na lang kaming mahanap na pamalit). Wala naman naging problema up to the time the vehicle was sold.

Ordinary glass cannot be used in automotive glass.

Sadly, they do. Lalo na sa mga owner type jeeps, backyard AUV's, etc. Ito yung kapag nabasag akala mo giant slices of pizza. Triangle na matatalim.
May nasakyan akong jeepney, ordinary glass sheet din ang windshield.

Any comments on XYG Laminated Glass?

based on experience from aguila quezon ave...

they asked me to buy the moulding direct from isuzu or walco, they were honest to tell me about the additional mark-up if they will do the sourcing blah blah. Glass installed was made in china
