How to deal with a broken windshield?

We've all had it happen—you are driving down the road when all of a sudden a piece of gravel smacks your windshield. Damn! While driving, we found car glass change in Kolkata in the service centres. This was a relief for us, since driving with a broken windshield is not at all safe.

Well going by that the situation is no different in other cities as well. So, in case you have a car glass change in Ludhianajust drive into a service centre and get it replaced. There are many service centres which are operating 365 days a year to protect you from such incidents.

When you crack or break a windshield it is not a fun time at all you have to contact the company that you are being insured buy and let them know what has happened and then you have to either buy a new windshield or wait on the new one to come in from being ordered. You are always going to have trouble sometimes when you are having windshield problems.   

There have been times that my friends noticed a small rock ding in the window, but the next morning that chip had turned into a crack that ran all the way across the window. The problem is temperature changes—cold weather will cool down your car's windshield, and then when you turn on the defroster the next morning or park the car in the sunlight, uneven heating of the window puts stress on the new weak spot in the window and a crack forms.

If you catch the chip early enough, you can visit almost any windshield shop and have some clear epoxy applied so that the chip is strengthened. If you allow the chip to start forming a crack, then you will need to visit the same windshield shop to have it replaced. In that case, trust me—it is much cheaper to get the ding fixed than it is to replace the entire windshield.

Even if your windshield cracks, it doesn't mean that it is going to fall out as you drive. Windshields are really a high-strength mix of tempered safety glass and clear plastic. If something much bigger than gravel hits your windshield, however, it is possible that it will shatter and either deform or fall out completely. If this happens when you are driving, you should immediately signal and pull over to the side of the road. Turn on your hazard lights and breathe deeply until you regain your composure. Don't try to knock out the window while you are still moving. This will distract you from driving and you could get cut by the glass.

So, whatever it is do not panic. Nowadays the service centres have toll free numbers, try to get in touch with them. Sooner or later you will be helped.
