Windshield Maintenance Tips

Proper windshield maintenance is essential for visibility, safety, and longevity. Your windshield experiences constant stress from temperature changes, road debris, and weather conditions.

  • Clean windshields regularly with quality glass cleaner for streak-free clarity
  • Use soft, lint-free cloths to prevent scratching the glass surface
  • Address chips and cracks immediately to prevent expansion from temperature changes
  • Avoid automatic car washes that can apply excessive pressure to glass
  • Park in shaded areas when possible to reduce thermal stress

Regular cleaning and inspection help catch damage early. Small chips can often be repaired, but neglected damage may require full replacement.

Repair or Replace: Making the Right Choice

Not every glass damage requires replacement. Understanding when repair is sufficient versus when replacement is necessary protects your safety and budget.

When Repair is Typically Possible:

  • Small chips less than 1 inch in diameter
  • Surface-level cracks not extending across the windshield
  • Damage outside of the driver's direct line of sight
  • Minor spider web cracking patterns

When Replacement is Necessary:

  • Damage larger than 3 inches or spreading
  • Cracks directly in driver's line of sight
  • Multiple damage points across the glass
  • Damage affecting vehicle structural integrity

Professional assessment ensures the right decision for your safety and vehicle value.

Tempered Glass

Primary Use: Side windows, shower enclosures, doors

Characteristics: Heat-treated glass that's 4-5 times stronger than standard glass

Benefits: Impact resistance, safer breakage pattern, thermal stress tolerance. Crumbles into small granules rather than sharp shards.
