ROLAGS; Do we need policing?

[Dave M]

I don't call it policing, I call it guidelines. As Blind Squirrel stated there won't be ROLAGS cops out there watching our every move. I feel the "guidelines" need to be in place particularly for the new and up and coming repair techs. What's wrong with "paper guidelines" for the repair industry to follow. What are we afraid of?
Frank, here in the U.S. we repair a lot of passenger cars, from privately owned, dealerships and rental agencies. There are many here that do not like working on trucks, me for one. Am I missing out on business? Sure, but I don't care because I'm too busy WORKING ON PASSENGER CARS! That's my target market.
I would agree with the correct environment to perform a long crack or short one for that matter. But, as we all know , that can not always be the case so we turn down the job.
I can't answer your three questions at this time without further information. I would like to see an unbiased test something like this......3 different test passenger cars-one with no breaks or repairs-one with a 4 to 6 inch repaired crack and one with a long crack repaired. Have the airbags on all three cars inflate and see what the results show. If all three windshields respond the same, remain intact as designed than why change the ROLAGS. But, if the repaired long crack breaks and causes the shield to act in a manner other than what it is designed for, than, maybe a change is needed. Maybe the 6 inch crack would not hold. Does anyone know if such a test has been performed? Again, this is just in regards to airbags and there may be other issues.
