The windows on your car help keep you and your passengers safe from the elements and road hazards. If your windscreen or any other glass on your car gets damaged, it is important to repair it as soon as possible. Quick repairs allow you to get back on the road safely. No matter what type of damage the glass has suffered, delaying its repair can make matters worse. If you are worried about how to take care of your glass until you have a chance to have it replaced,\u00a0Best Windscreen<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>can help.<\/p>\n

Handling a Damaged Window Before Its Replaced<\/h2>\n

Dealing with a broken car window is never fun, but it can also be dangerous. There are many ways that glass on a car can become broken, including a break-in, a car accident, or even vandalism. Of course, regular road hazards can also cause chips and cracks that may worsen over time if not repaired quickly. Sometimes, even if you schedule a repair quickly, there may be small delays. In these instances, there are ways to handle the broken glass in your car until repairs can be completed.<\/p>\n

Remove Broken Shards<\/h2>\n

If the glass on your car has been broken, removing the shards should be the first order of business. Make sure to put on thick protective gloves before handling any broken glass, or else you’ll quickly learn how sharp shattered glass can really be. Start by placing large pieces in the trash and then using a vacuum to collect the rest. Don\u2019t forget to use the hose to get the broken glass from around the seal of the window as well. Make several passes over the floors and seats to gather any stray pieces of glass that can cause cuts later on.<\/p>\n

Wipe Your Frame<\/h2>\n

With a cloth and plain water, wipe down the area around the seal and frame where the glass was damaged. Get rid of as much dirt and debris as possible so that you can seal the area properly.<\/p>\n

Seal the Hole<\/h2>\n

In the event that you are unable to get your window repaired quickly, it is important to seal the hole. This will help prevent the outside elements from damaging your vehicle and also deter theft. Take simple packing tape of the clear variety and apply strips in a vertical pattern over the window. This should be done from the inside instead of the outside of the car. While it may seem like cardboard would be an easier patch, it can actually allow moisture into your car, which will cause further damage.<\/p>\n
