🚗💥 WHAT CAUSES A CRACKED WINDSHIELD TO SPREAD?
A small windshield crack may not seem like a big deal at first, but certain conditions can cause windshield damage to grow quickly. Knowing what causes a windshield crack to spread can help you know when it’s time to have it checked.
☀️ Florida Heat & Sun
DeLand’s hot Florida temperatures can put additional stress on damaged windshield glass. Heat can cause materials to expand, which may contribute to an existing crack getting larger.
🌡️ Sudden Temperature Changes
Going from a hot vehicle to blasting cold A/C directly onto the windshield can create temperature changes that put stress on damaged glass.
🚗 Road Vibrations
Potholes, bumps, speed bumps, railroad crossings, and everyday driving can create vibrations that may cause an existing windshield crack to travel.
🪨 Road Debris
Another rock or piece of debris hitting near an existing chip or crack can quickly make the damage worse.
💨 Driving & Vehicle Movement
Wind pressure, vehicle movement, and normal flexing while driving can place additional stress on already-damaged windshield glass.
⏰ Waiting Too Long
The longer you drive with windshield damage, the more opportunity there is for the crack to spread. A small repairable area can become a larger windshield replacement problem.
