Weather plays a major role in auto glass behaviour.
Cold Weather
Causes glass to contract — increasing crack expansion.
Hot Weather
Expands glass, creating pressure around chips.
Rain and Snow
Water enters chips and expands when frozen.
Hail
One of the leading causes of auto glass damage in winter.
How to Prevent Weather Damage
- Avoid sudden temperature changes
- Don’t blast your defroster on high
- Park in garages or shaded areas
- Repair chips ASAP
Conclusion
Weather damage is preventable with simple habits and timely repairs.
