What causes windshield damage?
- Speaking of traffic, road hazards such as flying debris occurs all the time, especially when you are traveling down I-5 or any of L.A.'s freeways with thousands of other cars and trucks.
- Downed power lines, fallen trees, and soaring fragments caused by the Santa Ana winds are also common in Los Angeles County, with winds gusting up to 70 mph.
- From the beaches to the valleys, thousands of people are out and about and living in one of the world's busiest cities. The potential for winshield hazzards is tremendous.
What do auto glass technicians look for?
- At times, cracks will begin to appear a few inches from the edge of windshield due to weak areas created during the manufacturing process. This may become dangerous and actually disrupt the functionality of your seatbelts and airbags.
- Auto glass technicians examine the location of the impact. This is important because the center of the windshield absorbs more shock than the edges and it needs to be sound.
- A microscopic crack could easily expand if the vehicle's interior is 75 degrees and the outside temperature is 30 degrees. The windshield distorts and shifts during temperature variation and this can cause a small crack to branch out quickly.
