Most windscreens these days are manufactured overseas. Due to costs, the majority of windscreens fitted are imported screens. While they are not made in Australia they still need to meet the Australian standard and are quite safe for Australian driving conditions. While some like to blame the windscreens for being weaker, the fact is they are made of glass and Australian roads do have a lot of rocks! Some prefer to use genuine glass. These may be a better quality finish, but they also have a higher price tag some times as much as 5 to 10 times the price.
