DANA vehicles, typically associated with drivetrain components and commercial vehicle support rather than full automotive production, may be found outfitting or supporting vehicles with utility-focused windshield configurations. In colder climates, windshields on DANA-modified or partnered commercial vehicles may experience heavy frost accumulation and uneven defrosting, leading to stress fractures and reduced clarity. Their work environments often include high vibration and impact exposure, which further stresses the glass during freeze-thaw cycles. In hot regions, UV exposure and dust from rugged environments may cause premature wear on seals and coatings, especially if exposed for extended periods without shelter. High humidity or rain in coastal regions can also cause seal degradation and internal condensation. Because these vehicles are often used in heavy-duty conditions, windshield durability and visibility are essential. Operators should perform frequent inspections, apply UV and weatherproof treatments, and replace compromised seals promptly. Maintaining the windshield ensures not only safety but also compliance with industry-specific performance and visibility standards.
