Although you should always check car windows for cracks, the team at Genesee Glass & Mirror in Rochester, NY, knows that’s especially true during summer — a time when extreme heat and other seasonal conditions can cause even the tiniest chip to spread. For more than 40 years, the automotive glass replacement specialists at Genesee Glass have been getting vehicles ready for summer road trips by providing reliable glass and window repair solutions.

Here, Rochester’s automotive glass replacement pros share causes of cracks:

• Extreme Temperature Changes: You’ll probably crank the A/C each time you use your vehicle this summer. Extreme heat causes car glass to reach high temperatures. When hot glass meets cold air, the added stress causes cracks to spread. 
• Road Construction: With more hours of daylight, there’s more road construction during summer. When driving down a gravel-covered road, rocks and dirt can fly up and hit your car. If windows are already chipped, any dings will cause further damage.

If your windshield has any cracks, call the car window replacement specialists at Genesee Glass & Mirror immediately. The team offers fast service and has the knowledge and equipment needed to fix any glass imperfections. They will work with you to determine whether you need repairs or replacement.
