Steer Yourself Clear of Windscreen Replacements
Having a vehicle means being responsible and ensuring that it’s entirely kept up to safety standards for those around you and those in the car. While you should always be on top of things like getting the oil changed, fluid levels, your battery and more, it’s not uncommon for people to completely forget about the windscreen.
While windscreens are generally made out of materials that are high-quality and durable, they aren’t invincible, and sometimes they crack or become susceptible to damage. If you find even the smallest of cracks in your windscreen, you should highly consider calling a professional to help keep your car safe for the long haul.
If you want to stay clear of windscreen replacements, and make sure your windscreen is always safe, you might want to consider these tips:
Keep a Safe Distance from Other Vehicles
When you make sure your car is a good distance from other vehicles, you can effectively reduce the impact of debris that may come up from their tyres. In general, you should keep a distance of 2-3 cars between you and the next person. While this is good for those that don’t want to break hard, this also great for those that want to dodge debris. Avoiding accidents and keeping your car clear of debris will surely keep your windscreen in-tact.
Changing Windscreen Wipers Routinely
People forget that a common cause of windscreen damage is that their windscreen wipers are doing more damage than protecting. When you don’t change them regularly, and you have shoddy wipers swiping across the glass, they can make already-existing cracks bigger, as well as form them – especially if debris becomes caught in between. You should replace these twice a year – generally every 6 months or once you see that they’re broken (if this point is before the 6-month period).
Keeping Your Vehicle Indoors
Whether it’s a car port or a full-on garage, you should always aim for keeping your vehicle indoors during crazier seasons or weather. Doing so during hot months, stormy months, or harsh winter weather can protect your vehicle in more ways than one – starting at the windscreen.
