The purpose of your windshield is to protect you from outside debris. It is one of the most important safety parts in your vehicle. Nevertheless, there are many ways your auto glass can become damaged. Our windshield repair experts have seen it all.  Whether it's a chip, crack, webbing or a full shatter, we have the experience and training to either repair or replace your auto glass in the fastest and most cost-conscious way. It’s also important to remember that your windshield aids in supporting the vehicle’s structure, which can affect your seatbelts and airbags as well, so having this fixed is extremely important.

Accidents happen all the time

One of the most common ways a windshield sustains damage is when a vehicle in another lane kicks up a pebble and it is launched at the glass. The other driver is not responsible for your damaged windshield, since it is deemed unavoidable. That means you are responsible for having your windshield fixed. So if you’re traveling down I-96 and a tractor trailer kicks up rocks at your windshield causing a several chips, make sure to call us.  There are so many ways a windshield can be damaged unexpectedly including:

• You can be vacuuming the inside of your vehicle and accidentally hit the windshield with the vacuum attachment just at the right point causing a crack to appear.
• Drivers often place their cell phones or other items on the dash board. These things can slide while the vehicle is turning and smash into the section where the frame and glass meet.
• When swapping out wiper blades, sometimes snapping it down forcefully on the glass may cause a major scratch or break.
• In certain climates, vehicles are exposed to rust damage around the frame. Sometimes the damage becomes severe enough that the windshield comes loose and eventually falls out.
• There are times when drivers do not remember to latch the hood of the vehicle after checking on the engine compartment.  If your hood is not properly closed, it may fly back and shatter your windshield. 
• Removing the review mirror which can sometimes stick can create  a divot the size of a quarter as the glass is detached with the mirror.

Weather creates auto glass issues

Winters in Detroit can be brutal with heavy snowfall and frigid temperatures. There are plenty of nights when the temperature drop to zero degrees. This can cause a chip in your windshield to worsen, even if the chip is microscopic in size. If the exterior temperature is about 45 degrees difference from the interior, the auto glass can crack.  This is a common occurrence during the winter when drivers blast their heaters to warm up the inside of their vehicle. 

Other winter conditions may cause damage as well, like severe hail or an icicle that drops off and hits your windshield. These are frustrating situations, but unfortunately it is also common.

Factors that affect repair

• Did you know that the center of the windshield can absorb more shock than the edges?  If the damage is in the center and minimal, it can usually be repaired at a fairly low cost.
• When assessing your damage, we account for the  location of the chip, crack, hole, or pit. A crack toward the middle has much more of a chance to be fixed compared to a crack on the edge of the windshield.
• If it is fixed in time, it prevents more extensive damage, costly repairs and even a “fix-it-ticket.”
