Cracks or chips in vehicle windshields pose a risk to the driver. Even small cracks can inhibit visibility at a crucial moment and sudden jolts can cause cracks to expand or even shatter the glass. If you’ve found any of the following issues with the windshield of your Porsche, don’t hesitate to visit Porsche Monmouth for windshield repair.
Does Your Porsche Need a Windshield Repair?
Your Windshield Is Cracked
Various factors can cause cracks in a car’s windshield, including flying road debris, fender benders, vandalism, heavy snow, and rapid temperature changes. Even tiny cracks might block your vision when a split-second decision needs to be made. Alternatively, your eyes might mistake a crack for something on the road and react in a way that causes a collision.
As visibility is such a crucial factor for all drivers, it’s important to have cracks repaired as soon as possible. When left unresolved, cracks tend to expand over time, worsening the risks. Never delay in having a crack in your windshield fixed.
Your Windshield Is Chipped
Small chips may seem inconsequential, but all chips in windshield glass pose a similar threat to cracks. If stones or hail have chipped your windshield, have a technician take a look right away. The good news is that chips tend to be easier to repair than cracks.
Your Windshield Is Scratched
While not as urgent as cracks or chips, scratches in windshield glass still shouldn’t be ignored. Firstly, scratches negatively impact your visibility, which is never a good thing. Secondly, scratches can slowly expand, eventually becoming cracks, which may lead to the other threats mentioned above.
Winter Has Damaged Your Windshield
The cold winter months tend to wreak havoc on unprotected vehicles. Hopefully, you’ve been keeping your Porsche protected in a garage or under an insulated car cover.
Even with such protection, hail, snow, salt, and rapid temperature changes can all damage windshields. So if winter has just ended, and your windshield doesn’t look or feel quite right, have it inspected by a trusted technician just to be sure.
Ask Your Porsche Dealer: Should You Repair or Replace Your Windshield?
Sometimes it makes more sense to replace a windshield than to repair it. This decision all depends on the severity and positioning of the damage in the glass.
Multiple cracks or chips in awkward positions might be harder to repair than fewer cracks in easy-to-repair spots. Some types of damage might weaken the structural integrity of the glass even once it’s been repaired. An experienced technician at your local dealership can analyze the damage and guide you through your options.
