We all know what happens to water when it freezes. What happens to the water that entered your cracked windshield when it’s below 32 degrees or colder? It freezes and expands, now what do you think is going to happen to that small chip and or crack? Most cracked out windshields started as small rock chip or crack and ignored until it’s to late to repair. Do you now need a new windshield because that small chip has a crack that spread across the windshield?

This is what can happen when winter rains allow water to enter your cracked windshield, and winters cold temperatures freeze the water that is now inside your windshield, which can and will lead to costly replacement of the windshield. The constant temperature changes also cause the windshield glass to expand and contract helping small cracks or star breaks to expand, when this happens it can cause the windshield to crack all the way to the edge, if not promptly and properly repaired by a windshield repair technician.

Aside from the fact that a crack in a windshield can comprise the safety of your vehicle, fixing a crack is much easier and cheaper than replacing an entire windshield. A crack can very easily expand and become unfix able, especially in the winter when the continuous drastic temperature changes of the windshield can cause a crack to expand. Once a crack is in the driver’s line of vision, the law requires the entire windshield to be replaced. This costs about $500.
