WAYS TO PROTECT THE GLASS ON YOUR VEHICLE

The windshield on your car is always at risk of dealing with chips, cracks and total destruction whether you’re parked or driving. Sometimes there are incidents people are forced to deal with that are unavoidable and other times a person can take total control.

Here are some ways to avoid having to shell out extra dollars due to the windshield and windshield related matters.

How can I protect the windshield while on the road?

Driving with a safe distance from cars and especially trucks allows your vehicle a chance to avoid incoming chips that can fly and smack into the glass.

It is not only rocks and stones that can cause chipping, loose objects in a trucks bed can cause damage due to distance and speed that they approach your windshield from other vehicles.

Additionally, sudden impact and jolts to your car can cause issues with the windshield. The heavy vibrations from something as simple as closing the car doors can affect the glass, especially if there is a chip. Driving at appropriate speeds on difficult roads can help to avoid issues that can cause issues with your glass.

Is there a way to directly protect the windshield while not driving?

A windshield is a major, yet sensitive car feature that can cost an owner tons of extra dollars spent on maintenance due to a crack or a chip. To avoid having to shell out extra dollars there are little tricks that an individual can use to preserve the value of their windshield.

Cleaners are always a good way to keep your glass clear, sleek and are helpful for dealing with conditions on the road. People should avoid cleaners with ammonia. The substance is very dangerous for not only your lungs, but also the tint of the glass.

Additionally. The towel that one uses to wipe the glass is important. Microfiber and cotton towels are a safe alternative and leave less opportunity for scrapes and spotting. Another secret in this realm is trying vinegar that is void of ammonia.

In Canada it is expected that drivers will have to deal with the messy conditions that affect the entire driving experience.

Many rush to get winter tires and winter floor mats, but few people consider the benefits of a windshield cover.

The benefit of using the cover on your is not limited to just the winter. Our specialists in Scarborough auto glass recommend using a windshield cover year round. The cover protects the interior of your vehicle from being ruined from UV rays. The best way to keep your interior cool in the summer while your car is unattended is to keep the windshield covered.

There are covers with a shiny silver covering that bounces the light of the sun rays from penetrating the inside of your car, keeping it nice and cool.The wintertime benefit to a cover is it can retain the heat within your car when you’re not inside. This is a great benefit as it avoids frosting of your seats in the snowing and cold conditions.The nature of driving in Canada comes with tons of surprises and many twists. Make it a priority to do so from a safe distance and at good speeds.

When parked always make sure when you’re parked that your windshield is covered, and when cleaning avoid ammonia in your cleaning product. This is a good practice to follow for all four seasons of the year.
