Acoustic windshields have a thin polymer layer laminated between two pieces of glass. The layer dampens road and wind noise, making the cabin noticeably quieter than a standard windshield would. If your vehicle came from the factory with one, replacing it with a non-acoustic windshield will change how your car sounds going down the road. When acoustic glass matters Most luxury vehicles and many newer midsize cars use acoustic glass as part of their cabin design. If you’ve had your current windshield since the vehicle was new and you can hear a small whisper when driving at highway speed, that’s probably acoustic glass at work. Replacing it with standard glass will be louder, and most owners notice the difference within a day. What we use We source OEE or OEM quality acoustic windshields that match the original specification for your vehicle. The acoustic layer, the tint band, the bracket positions, and the rain or light sensor mounts all match what was there before. If you’re not sure whether your vehicle came with acoustic glass, give us the VIN when you call and we’ll check. Call 502-709-8693 to schedule.
