Causes of Windshield Damage
There are many circumstances where your vehicle may suffer from auto glass damage. The most common and damaging windshield chips and cracks can be caused by road hazards, gravel, stones, and rocks. The gravel or stones can be sprung up from behind your car, or shoot across the road from a car passing you in the other lane. Evidence of windshield or auto glass damage includes chips, holes, and pits. Small chips can increase in size and turn into larger issues for vehicle owners if not fixed promptly.

Changes in temperature which expand and contract the windshield constantly can create small cracks which can drift through the entire windshield. A small crack can lead to more serious damage and stress on the windshield. With increasing temperature changes and moisture on the windshield, damage can expand quickly. Hail can also cause windshield damage. These harsh stones can damage glass and cause clear destruction of your windshield. When hail causes numerous cracks and holes, it is no longer repairable. Unfortunately in these cases your windshield will most likely need to be replaced. Hail damage can be very detrimental to your windshield and auto glass.
Vandalism is also a cause of windshield and auto glass damage. This vandalism can be caused by someone trying to break into your vehicle, or damage caused by impact of foreign objects. To prevent vandalism from happening to your vehicle you should park in well lit lots, always lock your doors, and never leave anything valuable or irreplaceable in your car.
Windshield and auto glass damage can also stem from vehicle collisions and accidents. Mild accidents can cause stress fractures. More severe accidents can twist the vehicle frame and cause the windshield to shatter.
