Your car windscreen is an essential feature to ensure the safety of the driver and passenger. Yet, you might find yourself in a situation where your windscreen is in need of repair or replacement because of a crack or chip. This may be due to three main reasons:
1. Impact: Rocks, stones, pebbles, gravel or flying balls are the common most causes of windscreen damage causing the glass to chip or crack. Other than that collisions or accidents with another car, wall or tree will cause the windscreen to crack.
2. Bad weather: With climate change worsening every year, the weather is also contributing to damaging windscreens and automobile windows. Rough winds, storms, continuous rain or heavy hailstones can damage your auto glass. Sudden rapid changes in temperature also lead to the glass contracting or expanding, damaging the auto glass.
3. Poor installation or glass quality: If you have compromised on the quality of the glass in your windscreens, windows and mirrors, the structural weakness in the glass itself can cause fractures around the edges of the windscreen, making them vulnerable to cracking. Furthermore, incorrect installation may also be a reason for premature damage. This is why we recommend you benefit from the services of the team of technicians at Impala Glass who will ensure superior fitting using high-quality automotive glass manufactured at Impala Glass, Kenya.
Our team of professionals encourage you to protect your windscreen by driving carefully and vigilantly and staying aware of your surroundings at all times. In case your windscreen has been chipped, bring it in for replacement or repair at Impala Glass.
No chip should be ignored because it can affect the structural soundness of the windscreen and can manifest into full-fledged cracks. Cracked windscreens must be replaced immediately as it is a safety hazard. So if the crack is longer than a dollar bill or the crack or chip is halfway into the windshield or extends to the outside edge of the windshield give the technicians at Impala Glass a call for auto glass replacement.
