Learn why its important to repair or replace your windshield immediately after discovering damage
A warning about broken or cracked auto glass
A minor cracked windshield is pretty much all the warning that there is for drivers. It can crack at any time and it would not require an accident. Yes, it has been reported that windshield glass just shatters courtesy speedy winds. Driving at over 100 miles on a highway can break windshield glass if it is already cracked as the cracks temper with the aerodynamics of the windshield making it more air resistance rather than supporting flow of air above and around it. Auto glass repair becomes a priority task as soon as first crack appears on the glass.
A Line of Defense, your windshield and car windows help keep you safe
30% of car weight is born by windshield in situations that demand it to. When a car flips over or faces a sharp impact from an accident, the windshield is able to stand 30% of the force coming from momentum in case of accident and weight from flipping over. A fit windshield provides support to pillars and roof of vehicle giving just enough time for the passengers to safely evacuate. Cracked windshield compromises these chances and hence should be immediately replaced, or at least auto glass repair needs to be done.
Windshield Replacement versus Auto Glass Repair, what should you get for your car?
It is an agreeable fact that auto glass replacement altogether is an expensive option to go with; on the contrary, simply repairing the windshield takes far less money and hence is a better option in case there is still some strength in the windshield as a whole. Click here to see our blog page
Temperature can cause windshield chips and cracks to lengthen, unless they are repaired
Temperature has everything to do with the performance and life of a windshield. Both extreme hot and extreme cold temperatures in a state for instance San Diego, take their toll on the vehicle windshield glass. It has been tested that when temperatures fall below freezing point, they crack. Minus ten degree Celsius is the threshold temperature for most windshields. Likewise, heat of San Diego causes expansion in the glass of windshield, which is a no brainer, at the same time chilling of air conditioner from the inside of the vehicle countered by the heat of sun on the outside cracks windshield in no time.
