Bei Auto Scheiben aus Plexiglas über Tüv?
Hallo,
Ich überlege mir ein Auto zu kaufen, bei dem alle Scheiben (außer die Frontscheibe) kaputt sind. Ist es möglich die Scheiben mit Plexiglas selber einzubauen (um so Geld zu sparen), damit das Auto über den Tüv kommt?
You can’t get through the TÜV. Buy the slices or get one with slices.
Even if you could talk to the TÜV and the examiner does not realize that it is Plexi:
In the accident you have real problems because you can’t press Plexi out of the frame, it “breaks” in sharp and sharp edges instead of small splintering and you tear everything up, and the ride comfort is really disgusting, as you have no noise insulation. There is also the risk that the Plexiglas begins to swing during the ride and breaks.
is nothing. does not comply with safety regulations. Plexiglas is not break-proof, or breaks very hard but when it breaks, not exactly on the safe wise.
I think if you have a crash at 60km/h, with a car that only has discs of plexiglas, then you will get real problems. Plexiglas can break sharply, and if you need to get rid of the car, you can’t push the disc out.
each car disc shall have an approval number. ECE Regulation 43.
This clearly distinguishes between the requirements of front, rear or side windows. Your vehicle no longer has approval with a Plexi replacement, as appropriately prescribed components have been changed.
This even applies to the “heatable glazing” of a rear window. You see, everything is regulated somewhere.
The discs are structurally tested components and prerequisite for approval as a motor vehicle. The cultivation of non-approved parts brings the authorisation to extinguish.
By the way, you will not have a long pleasure with the installation of self-built plastic discs. Tiny dust particles and wipers quickly provide poor visibility.
Btw: there are tested “Plexiglas Discs”. They cost a lot of glass panes. Despite the hardened surface, the panes must be treated smoothly, otherwise they quickly take advantage.
If I didn’t do it, not cheap at first, rear window is also slightly curved, and above all, the windows are quickly scratched, if the TÜV would give its blessing, I don’t think, then prefer to look at the junkyard.
The rear panes are also smooth (is a minibus)
The rear window has an important function with respect to the stability of the body. And you don’t just replace it with Plexiglas. Since I can imagine that the Plexiglas would even be more expensive, like the “right” discs!
How long would the resistance to weathering be?
If Plexiglas were a real and, above all, cost-effective alternative to the current glass used, the automobile manufacturers would have already changed. Or don’t you think?
That’s right. Some police vehicles have polycarbonate discs. They cost much more than glass panes, but are scratch-sensitive. The only advantage of these discs: you can knock on with a forging hammer without breaking them.
You can’t get through the TÜV.
And I’m pretty sure you’ll walk home from the TÜV.
I don’t think so, and I wouldn’t be recommended.
Since when is Plexiglas cheap?
