Why You Shouldn’t Hit the Road with a Damaged Windshield

Planning a road trip this summer? Before you pack the cooler and load up the car, make sure your windshield is ready for the journey too. That small chip or crack you’ve been putting off could turn into a much bigger problem once the temperatures rise.

Summer heat can worsen existing windshield damage. As glass expands in the heat — especially under direct sunlight — minor chips can rapidly turn into large cracks. Add in high interior temperatures and sudden cooling from air conditioning, and the risk of further damage increases. In some cases, a minor chip can quickly grow into a full crack, potentially compromising your visibility and safety.

Here are a few risks to consider:

• Thermal stress: The combination of a hot windshield and a blast of cold AC can trigger cracking.
• Rough roads and road vibrations: Potholes, gravel roads, speed bumps, and uneven pavement transmit strong vibrations and shocks to the vehicle chassis. These impacts travel through the frame and can stress the windshield, especially if there's a crack already present.
• Safety compromise: A cracked windshield can compromise a vehicle’s structure, especially in rollover accidents.
