What Are Windshield Chips?<\/h2>\n

A windshield chip is a type of damage to your windshield. Unlike a crack, which is a fracture line in the glass, a chip is an area where a small piece of the glass is actually removed. Most windshield chips are caused when a rock comes in contact the windshield while on the road, but they can also be a result from the weather, natural disasters, or vandalism. While chips are often small and at times hard to see, you will be alerted to a potential windshield chip if you hear a loud popping sound when driving; this is indicative of a rock or other debris causing a chip<\/p>\n

What To Do When Chips Occur<\/h3>\n

No matter how tiny that chip in your windshield is, you have to get it repaired right away; leaving it unattended not only allows the chip time to become worse, but it puts the safety of you and your passengers at risk. Once the chip is there, it has the potential to spread. If dirt, water, or windshield wiper fluid get into the chip, it can negatively affect the glass in that area. If the windshield repair is prolonged, the glass won\u2019t be as smooth and might even have a cloudy look to it even after a repair, as the resin may seal in any debris.<\/p>\n

As soon as you realize that your windshield has a chip in it, you need to get it repaired. If the chip in your windshield is smaller than 2 inches, it can easily be repaired. It\u2019s recommended to get the windshield replaced if the chip is larger than 2 inches, as potential\u00a0damage of the chip spread becomes much greater at this size.<\/p>\n

Wizard Auto Glass will even help you deal with your insurance company; we can make sure you receive the highest coverage possible on your repair. Once we\u2019ve dealt with your insurance provider, call a repair company and schedule an appointment. Then, all you have to do is take your car in for the repair!<\/p>\n

Tips For Avoiding Windshield Chips<\/h3>\n

Accidents happen, prevention against auto glass damage is always the best medicine.\u00a0To avoid getting windshield chips, there are a couple of easy tips you can follow.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t drive too close to other vehicles:<\/b> the easiest way to get a chip in your windshield is a stone flying at your windshield from the tires of other cars. You can easily avoid this by maintaining a safe distance behind other cars while you\u2019re on the road. This is especially important when driving behind large trucks, who can do more damage to your windshield.<\/p>\n

Avoid bad weather:<\/h4>\n

Hailstorms are another cause of chips in windshields. Avoid driving during strenuous and severe weather conditions. If you can, park in a garage when the weather rigorous. You can also tie a tarp over the auto glass on your car \u00a0for some added protection if a garage isn\u2019t an option for you.<\/p>\n
