If you’ve ever driven a car with a cracked windshield, you know how annoying that simple line on your glass can be. It may start out small from a rock on the highway, or it may be larger, resembling a spider web. Either way, the experts at FB Glass recommend getting your windshield repaired as soon as possible. What starts as a small annoyance can quickly become dangerous and expensive if not repaired quickly.

How can you protect your windshield? The technicians at FB Glass recommend regular inspections. Many vehicle owners don’t realize how many tiny or hidden stone chips are lodged in the windshield until the glass cracks. Technicians, however, are trained to look for these chips, and can save you money by finding them before your glass cracks.

If your glass has already been damaged, you have three options:

• Short-term solutions. If you have a crack, you will want to avoid car washes and using your air conditioner or defrost. All three can put extra pressure on your window, causing the crack to deepen or accelerate.
• Windshield crack repair kit. This can sound like a cheap option, but if not done correctly, can be costly. Unfortunately, most car owners don’t have the knowledge or experience about glass repair, and often use the kits incorrectly. Unless you have a trained eye and some experience, glass repair is best left up to the professionals.
