CHIPS AROUND YOUR WINDSHIELD'S EDGES?

CHIPS AROUND YOUR WINDSHIELD'S EDGES?


 

CHIPS AROUND YOUR WINDSHIELDS EDGES?

 
Your vehicle's windshield plays a crucial role in ensuring your safety on the road. Unfortunately, chips can sometimes occur around the edges of your windshield, compromising its integrity and posing a potential risk. At Truro Nissan in Truro, Nova Scotia, we want to ensure your vehicle is safe and ready to drive, so we put together this article about the importance of getting windshields fixed promptly.
 

CAUSES OF CHIPS AROUND WINDSHIELD EDGES

 

Chips around the edges of your windshield can result from various factors. One common cause is road debris, such as rocks and gravel, kicked up by other vehicles. When these objects strike your windshield, they can create small chips or cracks, especially near the edges where the glass is more vulnerable.
 
Another cause of chips around windshield edges is temperature fluctuations. Extreme cold or hot weather can cause the glass to contract or expand rapidly, leading to stress on the edges. Over time, this stress can weaken the glass, making it more susceptible to chips and cracks.
 

IMPACT OF CHIPS ON WINDSHIELD INTEGRITY

 

While chips around the edges of your windshield may seem minor at first, they should not be ignored. Even small chips can compromise the structural integrity of the glass, increasing the risk of further damage. Additionally, chips can obstruct your view while driving, creating a safety hazard for you and other road users.
 
When chips are left untreated, they can spread and develop into larger cracks, rendering the windshield irreparable. In such cases, a complete windshield replacement becomes necessary, which can be more expensive and time-consuming than addressing the issue early on.
