Due to a lack of money or time, many drivers continue to ride around with a cracked windshield. However, this choice involves a number of risks and may lead to the need for a windshield replacement. Fortunately, this scenario can be avoided entirely. All you have to do is follow these simple tips from the auto glass repair services professionals at FB Glass in Rochester, NY. 

If your car or truck’s windshield has a crack in it, consider the following suggestions to prevent further damage:

• Use Super Glue: Apply the glue to the crack and spread it out in an even layer. The super glue will create a temporary stopgap to keep the fissure from spreading until you can bring it in for repairs.
• Use a Glass Repair Kit: Visit your local auto parts store for a glass repair kit. Follow the instructions, but be careful about relying on the kit for too long. It’s best to see a windshield repair technician soon.
• Mind Where You Park: If possible, park your vehicle in a shaded area or a covered garage. Exposure to heat, rain, snow, and other weather conditions may cause the crack to spread.
• Apply Nail Polish: A heavy layer of nail polish applied to both the inside and outside of the windshield crack will keep it intact until you get it repaired.
• Consult an Expert: A windshield replacement and repair professional can measure the size and depth of the crack to determine the extent of the needed repairs or whether a replacement is the best solution. An expert also has access to special tools to keep the crack from spreading.
