FAQs
What causes windscreen cracks and chips?
Windscreen cracks and chips are most commonly caused by small rocks or road debris striking the glass, especially while driving behind other vehicles at high speeds. The impact creates a point of weakness that can develop into a larger crack over time. Temperature fluctuations also play a role—sudden changes, such as pouring hot water on a frozen windscreen or using the defroster on high heat, can cause thermal stress that leads to cracking.
Other causes include poor installation, pressure stress from body flex or chassis movement, and environmental wear—particularly in coastal areas where salt air can degrade seals and materials. Tiny chips or scratches can spread further if left unrepaired, especially with exposure to moisture and vibration from driving. Over time, even minor damage can compromise the windscreen’s structural integrity, making timely inspection and repairs essential.
Can a windscreen crack get worse over time?
Yes, a small windscreen crack can worsen significantly over time—sometimes in a matter of hours or days. Factors like vibration from driving, changes in temperature, rain, and even slamming car doors can cause cracks to spread quickly. A minor chip that seems harmless today can become a major safety concern tomorrow. Cracks near the edge of the windscreen are especially prone to spreading, as they compromise the structural integrity of the glass. To avoid further damage and higher costs, it’s best to address cracks early—either through professional repair or full replacement, depending on size and location.
Is it safe to replace a windscreen in wet or cold weather?
Windscreen replacement can still be done in wet or cold conditions, but certain precautions are necessary. Cold weather can slow down the adhesive curing time, while rain or humidity may interfere with proper bonding if not handled correctly. Professional installers often use specialised adhesives designed for lower temperatures and will ensure the vehicle is protected from moisture during installation. In some cases, they may use heated workshops, pop-up shelters, or delay the job slightly to ensure safety and quality aren’t compromised. For mobile replacements, weather conditions are factored into timing and site selection.
