In addition to this routine, we highly recommend you inspect your windscreen for any stone chips or minor surface damage.<\/p>\n<p>The sound of a small stone hitting the windscreen is also quite distinctive. If you hear this, we recommend checking your screen once the car is parked.<\/p>\n<h2>Inspection of the windscreen<\/h2>\n<p>Inspection is on top of our list so that you can take proactive measures to always stay on top of your windscreen well-being. Should you catch any windscreen damage in its early stage, the better are the odds that you can have it repaired.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What to do when it happens?<\/h3>\n<p>When you spot a newly created stone chip on your car&#8217;s windscreen, it&#8217;s important to act promptly to prevent the damage from worsening. Here&#8217;s what you should do:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Assess the Damage<\/strong>: Examine the size and depth of the chip. If it&#8217;s smaller than a coin, it&#8217;s likely repairable. Larger cracks, however, may require a windscreen replacement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clean the Area:<\/strong> Gently clean the chipped area using a soft brush or cloth to remove any debris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cover it up:<\/strong> Cover the stone chip with some see-through tape and book a time for a windscreen repair immediately.<\/p>\n<p><span>The sooner you take action, the better.

Let\u2019s have a look at some ways you can prevent this from happening.<br \/><br \/>Protected parking<\/h2>\n<p>Shelter your vehicle from hot sunlight, cold spells, and storm damage by parking undercover. Incidentally, the car\u2019s battery and paintwork will also last longer.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t de-ice the windscreen with boiling water<\/h2>\n<p>This thawing method is a quick way to crack \u2014 or even shatter \u2014 the windscreen. The sudden temperature difference is almost guaranteed to create a stress fracture. \u00a0You can purchase a de-icing spray instead, or allow your engine to run a bit and use the built-in defroster. It may take you longer to get out of the driveway, but at least your windscreen will be intact.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep your car\u2019s windscreen clean<\/h2>\n<p>The design of a windscreen protects the occupants from injury and the elements, but it needs looking after to do its job efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Wash your car\u2019s windscreen regularly, especially if it\u2019s muddy or dirty.<\/p>\n<p>Without proper cleaning, corrosion can form in the frame, and structural degradation in existing cracks or chips may occur.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from preventing cracks, a clean windscreen improves visibility and keeps you safer on the roads.<\/p>\n<h2>Pay attention to your surroundings\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>If drivers pay more attention while driving, there will be fewer accidents.\u00a0A defensive driving attitude and adherence to traffic laws will make it safer all around. Something as simple as slowing down as a truck approaches in the opposite lane can make the impact of tiny stones flung from their tyres less hazardous.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be significant savings in car glass replacement and repair.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>Use professional car glass technicians for windscreen examinations and repairs<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s natural to choose a windscreen or car glass replacement provider with the lowest prices. Unfortunately, poor workmanship and sub-grade components will ultimately cost the customer money.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you get good value and high quality from your car glass professional.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
