Expert tips to protect your windshield all year round
Your car ’ s windshield does more than let you see outside . It provides a significant amount of strength to the structural support in the cabin of the vehicle . Here are a few tips to keep it in good condition .
• Periodically wipe your windshield with a microfiber cloth . This will help keep the glass clean and prevent the wipers from spreading dirt around .
• Regularly clean your wiper blades with a soft cloth soaked in washer fluid to remove grease and dust .
• Replace your wiper blades as soon as they show signs of wear to prevent streaking .
• Maintain a safe following distance to reduce the risk of getting hit by stones .
• Warm up your car gradually . Avoid forcing hot air onto the windshield as the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the car could weaken the glass .
• Place a cardboard or anti-icing tarp over your windshield when the forecast predicts rain or cold weather .
• Don ’ t use hot water to de-ice your windshield . The thermal shock can cause it to crack .
• Immediately repair chips or cracks in your windshield .
• Use a snow brush with a flexible Styrofoam edge . The bristles on traditional brushes can harbor debris that could scratch your windshield .
• Use a seasonal windshield washer fluid . For example , winter washer fluid won ’ t freeze and removes road salt , while summer washer fluid removes insects .
Visit a local autobody or glass repair shop to have your windshield inspected and repaired if necessary . n
