A chipped and scratched windshield can cause havoc on your ability to see clearly when driving, especially when there is little sun and the light illuminates every imperfection of the glass. Although many chips seem harmless at first, exposure to temperature changes and vibrations on the road can cause them to enlarge in real cracks in the glass.

Windshield cracks are serious not only because they can obstruct vision, but also by the structural role it plays in designing the windshield of an automobile. The AAA came out to explain to their members and other drivers in case of a rollover, the windshield of a vehicle provides an important support for the roof and are pillars to prevent passengers from being crushed.

A windshield comprises two tempered glass sheets laminated together by a transparent membrane that helps strengthen and prevents damage to pieces. Glass is also a crucial barrier to prevent occupants from being ejected in an accident.

If a windshield is cracked, have depression or some other type of damage, visit their dealership and speak with a qualified on whether to repair or replace technician. Cracks and small chips can usually repair, restoring the structural integrity of the windshield and avoiding having to change it. Fortunately, insurance policies against all risks often include coverage at little or no cost for repair or replacement of the windshield.

The wipers may affect visibility when driving in bad weather. The brushes are inexpensive items but often overlooked. A worn or damaged blade can leave streaks and smudges on the windshield and the wiper arms no longer have the strength to hold the flap against the glass as it should also contribute to poor cleaning rain, snow or mud .Change the fins each season is a good way to ensure reliable operation of the wiper blades. If you suspect that the wiper arms do not work well, a quick visit to the dealer can help you determine if you need replacement.

Whether in winter snow rain or just occasionally deal with the maintenance of the brushes and wiper is an essential part of safe driving throughout the year.
