What can happen when I drive with cracks on the Windscreen of my Nissan Juke?

Your driving view could become obstructed

When cracks or dents appear on your windscreen, they can be minor inconveniences at first, but nothing you might consider deadly. However, they have the potential to devolve into a spreading network of cracks that could obscure your vision while driving. Which is less than ideal when you find yourself speeding past objects that you need to see to avoid. The windscreen is the main component in observing the outside world, and it must remain unobstructed at all times.

You could get in trouble with the law

Under the National Road Traffic Act, driving with cracks in your windscreen is considered an act of reckless driving, and a crime that could result in you gaining three penalty points on your licence, or even a hefty fine, depending on the extent of your Nissan Juke’s compromised safety.

It only takes a short amount of your time to fix the problem, and it could save you a lifetime of regret from endangering the lives of people on the street or going into a long and arduous court case from an accident that could have easily been avoided.

Your Nissan Juke’s structural integrity could be compromised

The windscreen, along with the other forms of car glass, all work together to keep your car’s structural frame in place. In the event of an accident, collision or rollover, it might be the line between life and death. A strong windscreen will keep the shape in place, as well as protecting the occupants of the car from being flung out of the vehicle.

If your windscreen is cracked at this time, you might find the glass shattering instead, which removes the structural protection and introduces sharp shards of glass to an already precarious situation. For your health, your passenger’s lives, and the safety of your Nissan Juke, you should always drive with an adequately fixed windscreen at all times.

How much does it cost to get my Nissan Juke windscreen replaced?

Numerous factors come into place when determining what the cost of your Nissan Juke windscreen replacement online quote will amount to in the end.

The year of your model and extent of the damage to the windscreen are the primary factors; however, the location of the cracks/dents also plays an essential part in the process.

On average, a Nissan Juke windscreen replacement would cost between £391.90 and £336.84 (so a median cost of £364.37).

The two features that determine the costs are:

A Rain Sensor

This device is activated by rainfall making contact with the windscreen. At this point, your Nissan Juke will automatically adjust its windscreen wipers to move accordingly. This is to assist with any distractions or vision distortion caused by the responsible liquids.

The rain sensor is found attached to the car glass areas behind the windscreen and behind the rearview mirror.

An Acoustic Sound windscreen

Acoustic sound windscreens are windscreens that contain an extra layer of material between the glass layers (in this case vinyl) that has soundproofing properties. This provides a noise dampening attribute and results in a muted car interior, which is great for your comfort.

As these are extra features that both interact closely with the windscreen of your Nissan Juke, you can see that extra care and materials would be required when the technician comes to work on the replacement, and thus the additional costs that are required. It is always good to know whether your Nissan Juke has any of these features before calling a technician over.
