  • Park In The Shade: An overheated windshield will cause cracks to spread, and can even crack an intact windshield. Keep your front windows rolled down an inch or two as well to reduce the temperature inside your car.
  • Cool Your Car Gradually: Blasting the air conditioning as soon as you get into your hot car can cause even a tiny crack to spread because of the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the windshield. Using cold water to wash your hot car can also cause the same problem.
  • Don’t Slam Doors: A crack or chip weakens your windshield and slamming the doors can make it worse. Be gentle when you close the doors.
  • Fix It: The very best way to keep a small chip or crack from turning into a much bigger problem is to have your windshield replaced immediately. A small chip or crack can quickly turn into a spider web in the summer heat, obscuring your vision and putting you at risk for a citation.

Remebter that you have the right to select the glass replacement company of your choice for your windshield replacement. You do not have to use the company recommended by your insurance company.
