Do Not Ignore a Windshield Chip Before Cold Weather
· ZhoopZhoop Collision & Mechanical
A small windshield chip can become a much bigger crack once temperatures start dropping. Temperature swings, road debris and everyday driving can all place additional stress on already damaged glass.
Why windshield chips can spread
As the glass heats and cools, it expands and contracts. A chip that appears stable in warmer weather can begin spreading during colder conditions. Catching the damage early may help avoid a larger windshield problem.
Modern windshields can also be part of a vehicle’s driver-assistance system. Cameras used for lane keeping, collision warning and other features are often mounted near the windshield, so replacement may be followed by additional checks or calibration.
