Your car’s windshield is an important part of its vehicle-wide safety features. A cracked or damaged windshield cannot only impair your vision while driving and make your car more vulnerable to accidents. Although our West Texas Windshields technicians can help you with any windshield repairs or replacements, it’s still important to take care of your new windshield to ensure it lasts as long as possible. Read through our easy tips for protecting this part of your vehicle and visit one of our West Texas locations today!

Avoid Driving on Rough Roads

While the main roads you drive on every day are likely well-paved and don’t stir up too much gravel, it’s important to avoid driving on rough roads whenever possible. Debris and rocks can be stirred up when driving on paved roads or white doing over rough potholes and can increase your risk of damaging your windshield. If possible, avoid driving during extreme weather as well, to avoid rain and hail coming into contact with the glass. 

Don’t Clean With Harsh Chemicals

After you receive your windshield replacement from West Texas Windshield, it’s important to preserve its pristine nature even while cleaning your car. Washing your windshield with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials after any repairs can potentially scratch the glass and compromise the integrity of the windshield itself. We recommend using a soft cloth and mild soap instead.

Always Park in a Garage 

When you’re not driving your vehicle, it’s still possible for the windshield to be damaged, even after any repairs or replacements. Whenever possible, park your vehicle in a garage or under covered parking, so the elements and other pieces of debris don’t have any effect on the windshield’s glass.

Perform Regular Inspections

As you take all necessary measures to ensure your windshield replacement from West Texas Windshields, remember to inspect the glass for possible signs of damage.
