If you do get a chip in your windshield there are steps you can take to help prevent the chip from cracking the windshield until you can repair it :
• On the outside of the windshield, cover the chip with clear packing tape. This will help keep out moisture and dirt.
• If possible, park in the shade. Leave the side windows cracked in order to keep heat from building up in the car.
• Don’t use anything liquid to seal the chip, such as glue or nail polish.
• Don’t wash the car. Pressure from the hose or the temperature difference between the water and windshield can cause the chip to crack out.
• Don’t use sun shades. They cause the windshield to heat up, which can cause a crack.
• Don’t slam the doors, trunk, or hood. Any extra vibration to the car could cause the chip to crack.
