Polycarbonate windshields are not street legal. Here is why real laminated automotive glass from Fesler is safer and smarter.

You are deciding between plastic and real automotive glass. The truth is simple. Plastic scratches and hazes. It does not carry DOT approval for street use and it can introduce insurance problems after a crash. Real laminated automotive glass is the standard for safety, clarity, and value.

What polycarbonate is and why that matters

Polycarbonate is a clear plastic. It marks easily from wipers and normal cleaning. It can haze and yellow from sun and heat. It can lose shape over time. None of that is acceptable on a serious street build that you plan to drive at night and in weather.

Street legality and insurance

No polycarbonate windshield on the market is approved for street use. If you install plastic up front your car is not compliant for public roads. If a crash happens, using non approved materials can create insurance problems that put your claim at risk. Protect your investment with the correct materials from the start.

Why real laminated automotive glass wins

Safety: Laminated glass is designed to stay together under impact and is approved for road use.
Clarity: True optical clarity with a clean view in day and night conditions.
Durability: Strong resistance to scratches and UV so the view stays clear for years.
Fit and style: Model specific shaping that delivers a modern flush mount look and a tight even reveal.

The Fesler difference

Fesler builds real laminated automotive glass for classic platforms and modernizes the fit with a flush mount system. Our team prototypes on real cars, sets tight tolerances, and manufactures here in North America with top tier partners. The result is a clean reveal, a strong seal, and clarity that lasts.
