Have
you ever noticed a crack in your windshield and had no idea how it
got there? What happens to make your damage spread? Unluckily, there
are several factors that can make your damage worse.
1)
Moisture: Because your windshield is made up of a glass sandwich
there is a room for moisture to get inside. Even if you have a tiny
crack, a rainstorm or the water you use to wash your car can make its
way underneath and get stuck that can weaken the structural integrity
of the entire windscreens.
2)
Dirt: Just like moisture, dirt can make its way into the
inner-workings of windscreens. If that happens, you'll wind up
dealing with a weekend windscreen. And this can cause you with a
costlier replacement instead of an easy repair.
3)
Extreme temperatures: The combination of a scorching summertime heat
wave and a powerful air-conditioner can be too much for your
windshield to bear. The difference in temperatures inside and outside
of your car can put added pressure on an already-damaged windshield.
When that happens, chips and cracks get bigger.
4)
Bumps in the road: Innocent things that you do every day without
giving them a second thought like driving over a speed bump, jamming
on the brakes or even slamming your door- can cause extra stress on
your windshields.
5)
The Sun: it's powerful enough to burn your skin, and in the same way
to damage your windscreens. The sun increases the temperature of your
windscreens and that cause chips and cracks get bigger.
