Signs You Need Auto Glass Replacement
Taking care of one’s car can be a lot of work. You not only have to clean the exterior and the interior upholstery of your car, but also make sure that its parts are in perfect condition. There’s the engine that you have to inspect every day. The tires also have to be checked to ensure that they have enough pressure. Because you have to check many parts, you may forget some other important parts of your car like its auto glass. Your car’s windows, windshield, and wiper blades are all essential to your car’s safe operating condition. You may not notice it but your car’s auto glass may have already been damaged. Here are some obvious signs your car needs auto glass replacement.
Its sunroof is not working
Your car’s sunroof may jam halfway through an operation that leaves your window cracked open. It may also refuse to operate at all and make odd grinding sounds when you try to open or close the glass. Automatic sunroofs usually experience a host of mechanical and functional issues. You risk breaking your auto glass or damaging the motor in your sunroof if you attempt to open your sunroof manually. Discontinue use of your car’s sunroof and use a piece of cardboard or heavy plastic to cover any open areas.
Its windshield has blade scratches
Windshield wiper blades in cars have rubber on the outside of the blades to protect the windshield against abrasion and scratches when the wipers are in use. The blades will quickly scratch your windshield when they are worn and their rubber comes off. These blades will leave curved markings right in your line of vision. So as soon as you hear the screeching sound of metal against the glass when your wiper blades are in use, take your car to an auto glass repair specialist so they can install new wiper blades.
