Below are detailed descriptions of every component included with this Front windshield gla assembly.
The Front windshield (NX) is the main glass panel that forms the front viewing area of the cab. This Front windshield gla component is manufactured from laminated safety glass, consisting of two layers of annealed glass bonded with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. The laminated construction ensures that, in the event of an impact,
the glass cracks but remains bonded to the interlayer, preventing dangerous shards from entering the cab. The part meets ECE R43 safety standards, providing excellent impact resistance and UV protection. The glass is precision‑curved to match the aerodynamic profile of the HOWO MAX 4X2 NX cab, reducing wind noise and drag.
The upper edge includes a shaded band that reduces glare from the sun, improving driver comfort during long journeys. The part is also coated with a hydrophobic layer that repels water, enhancing visibility in rainy conditions. This component is critical for the structural integrity of the cab, as it contributes to the overall rigidity of the cabin in the event of a rollover. The part is supplied with the necessary mounting primers and is ready for professional installation.
Regular inspection of The part for chips or cracks is essential; any damage larger than a 10mm coin should be repaired or replaced immediately to maintain safety. This genuine Front windshield gla is a direct replacement for the original unit, ensuring the same optical quality and fit as the factory‑installed glass.
Two ventilation hood assemblies are supplied to direct airflow across The part, aiding in demisting and defrosting. These assemblies are injection‑moulded from high‑impact ABS plastic with a matte black finish, matching the cab interior. Each ventilation hood features adjustable louvers that allow the driver to control the direction and volume of air directed at the windshield. The design integrates seamlessly with the dashboard,
and the assemblies are secured using the factory clips and screws (not included). The ventilation hoods are essential for maintaining clear visibility in cold or humid conditions, as they channel heated or cooled air directly onto The part surface to prevent fogging and ice buildup. The assemblies are designed to withstand continuous exposure to temperature extremes without warping or cracking. They are also easy to remove for cleaning of the ventilation ducts.
When replacing The part, it is recommended to inspect the ventilation hoods for any damage and replace them if necessary. These genuine HOWO ventilation hood assemblies ensure that the airflow pattern matches the original design,
providing effective defrosting and demisting performance. The hoods are also equipped with foam seals that prevent air leakage, ensuring that all airflow is directed onto the glass surface. This enhances the efficiency of the cab’s climate control system, reducing energy consumption and improving overall comfort.

The included ventilation hood assemblies are designed to direct airflow precisely across The part, ensuring effective demisting and defrosting. The adjustable louvers allow customised airflow, enhancing driver comfort and safety.
This Front windshield gla kit is shaped to match the exact curvature and dimensions of the HOWO MAX 4X2 NX cab. The glass and ventilation hoods install without modifications, using the original mounting points and hardware.
The part is a critical structural and safety component. It is made from 5mm thick laminated glass with a PVB interlayer thickness of 0.76mm, providing high mechanical strength and sound insulation. The glass has a light transmission of over 88% and a UV cutoff of 99.5%, reducing interior fading and heat build‑up. The part is also equipped with a ceramic frit band around the edge, which protects the adhesive bond from UV degradation and provides a clean, professional appearance.
The glass is formed using the gravity bending process, ensuring uniform curvature across the entire surface. The integrated rain sensor pad (if equipped) is pre‑installed on the glass, allowing for automatic wiper activation. The part also includes mounting clips for the rear‑view mirror, ensuring precise positioning.
The ventilation hood assemblies are made from glass‑filled polypropylene, offering high heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 120°C and excellent dimensional stability. Each hood features a foam seal that creates a positive seal against the glass, preventing air leakage and ensuring that defrost air reaches the entire glass surface. The hoods are available in a standard black finish, matching the interior trim of the HOWO MAX 4X2.
Before installation, ensure the cab frame is clean and free from rust and old adhesive. Apply a primer to the bonding surface on the frame, then apply a bead of polyurethane adhesive (not included) around the perimeter of the window opening. With the help of an assistant, carefully position The part into the opening, ensuring even pressure around the edges.
Press the glass firmly into the adhesive and secure it with masking tape to hold it in place while the adhesive cures. Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before driving.
Install the ventilation hood assemblies by clipping them into the dashboard vents and securing them with the original screws. Ensure the airflow direction matches the driver’s preference. Reconnect any electrical connectors for the rain sensor or mirror (if present). The part installation is now complete. Always use genuine adhesive and follow the manufacturer’s curing times.
If The part develops a crack or chip, it must be evaluated by a professional. Small chips can often be repaired, but cracks larger than a coin or those that obstruct the driver’s vision require replacement.
If the ventilation hoods do not direct air onto the glass, check for blockages in the ducting or damage to the hood. A fogged Front windshield gla indicates a leak in the HVAC system or a blocked air filter; service the climate control system. If the glass has a distortion or wave, it may be a defect; replace it with a genuine Front windshield gla. Always use genuine parts to ensure correct fit and optical quality.
Inspect The part regularly for chips, cracks, and pitting. Clean the glass with a non‑abrasive glass cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. Check the ventilation hoods for cracks or warping and ensure the louvers move freely.
Replace the windshield wiper blades annually to prevent scratching the glass. If the vehicle operates in dusty or sandy environments, inspect the glass more frequently. A well‑maintained Front windshield gla ensures optimal visibility and safety.
