Summer is all about making the most of long days and warm weather. However, as the temperature rises, so does the likelihood of your car's glass cracking. Heat waves can severely damage your car's glass, which isn’t always cheap to repair or replace. Learn how to protect your windshield during a heat wave below. When you need windshield repair or replacement in San Antonio, contact 5 Star Auto Hail Repair.
Heat is a major cause of windshield damage during the summer. When the weather abruptly fluctuates, your windshield may develop stress cracks. These fractures normally appear at the corners of the windshield, but they can expand and grow inward.
Despite the urge to turn up the air conditioning to beat the heat, letting your car gradually cool down will help keep your windshield from cracking. Allow the car some time to adjust to the ambient temperature. You can also direct the vents downward to prevent air from blasting directly on your windshield. Another way to avoid an overheated windshield is to park your car in a shaded area. If it's safe to do so, crack or roll down the windows.
Slow down and avoid tailgating to reduce the chance of gravel hitting your windshield while driving through construction zones. If you find a chip or other damage to your windshield, have it repaired as soon as possible. Waiting too long to correct minor damage can result in costly repairs, and you may even need to replace your entire windshield.
