Rock chips are one of the most common causes of windshield damage. Taking the right steps immediately can help prevent a larger crack.
- Inspect the damage – Check the size and location of the chip.
- Keep the area clean – Avoid touching the damaged spot and keep dirt and moisture out.
- Avoid extreme temperatures – Do not use very hot water or high heat on the windshield.
- Drive carefully – Rough roads and sudden impacts can cause the chip to spread.
- Schedule a repair quickly – Many chips can be repaired in a short appointment if treated early.
When replacement may be necessary
Replacement may be recommended if the crack is long, reaches the edge of the windshield, or is directly in the driver’s line of sight.
