Default New age windshield.

Is this a part of the chassis? meaning does it actively "hold" the chassis together?

Mine is cracked, should I get it replaced immediately or is it no hurry?

P.S. I do track days.

Thanks
Claus

It's not part of the monocoque - but if cracked, you're staring at a fine if caught!

Just had my front screen replaced by Autoglass, but the sreen looks considerabley lighter in tint than the side windows. Is this correct? Its an 05 by the way.
Thanks,
Andy.

Thanks for the help, think I better get it replaced soon as possible as I´ve got a couple of track-days coming up.
