What Caused My Windshield Chip to Get Bigger?

Most adults will have a chip in their windshield at some point in time.  Whether you are driving down the road and a rock smacks into your windshield, your car is parked and a golf ball hits it, or any other reason that your car’s windshield could get damaged, we’ve all had that annoyingly distracting little windshield chip.  And, while it may seem like it is no big deal to leave a relatively small chip alone if it is not repaired correctly, it can actually grow.

Your car does not have to have anything else damage that chip in order for it to grow so we often hear, “What caused my windshield chip to grow and could I have prevented it?”  The short and sweet answer is – no.  The only way to prevent a chip from growing is to have it repaired as soon as possible.

When a chip is left alone without repair, it is then exposed to things like fluctuations in temperature, bumpy roads that jostle your car, or simply something else hitting your windshield.  The cost of repairing a chip is far less than the cost of replacing your windshield because the chip grew into a large crack that cannot be repaired.  Get your car’s windshield crack repaired today so that you don’t have to ask, “What caused my chip to grow?”
