Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205 sets requirements for the penetration resistance of windshields upon impact while Standard 212 regulates windshield retention in crashes. The High Penetration Resistant (HPR) windshield, was designed to crumple and deform at speeds where earlier windshields would have been penetrated by head impacts. Adhesive bonding provided a tighter windshield installation method than earlier rubber gasket designs. The study determined if HPR windshields and adhesive bonding achieved their performance objectives in highway crashes and measured their casualty-reducing benefits, side effects and costs.
