The windscreen is a part of the Saab 9-3 load-bearing structure. The windscreen significantly contributes to the torsional stiffness of the body. Its design and mounting has been carefully tested to meet with laws regarding impact safety. The airbags are supported by the windscreen when they are inflated. It is therefore very important that the windscreen is correctly mounted, both for the function of the car and the safety of its occupants. The only glass adhesive that has been crash tested and approved for after market use is Betamate E 2400.

IMPORTANT: Windows must  be glued with Betamate E 2400.
