Trenton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/07/2019 -- Thirty percent of auto insurance claims involve windshields, with edge cracks accounting for up to 80 percent of these claims. As one of the most reputable windshield replacement companies in Bucks County, PA, ABS Auto Glass has advice for how to provide temporary care for damaged windshields. By treating windshields as soon as cracks or chips appear, motorists can save thousands of dollars every year across the USA.
ABS recommends purchasing a windshield repair kit from any auto repair shop so that there is one at hand when a windshield is damaged. These kits contain a special manufactured resin which can prevent chips or cracks from spreading and causing increased damage. Motorists should follow the kit's instructions and apply the adhesive to the affected area as a preventative measure.
Bumps in the road and potholes can cause tiny chips and cracks to expand, leading to increased damage and repair costs. Other factors, such as excessive heat or bitterly cold weather can cause materials to contract and expand, adding pressure to car windshields and occasionally leading to the expansion of cracks or chips in the glass. Avoiding direct sunlight and storing a vehicle inside a garage can help to curb further cost to a windscreen.
Motorists may also want to apply a windshield cover or protector to their vehicle when they are not driving around. Drivers also should seek professional advice as soon as possible, because driving with a damaged windshield is potentially dangerous and can result in penalties and fines from law enforcement officials.
