Does Replacing the Windshield Have Any Impact?
1 Answers
Replacing the windshield may have some impact. If you go to an unreliable auto repair shop or choose a poor-quality glass brand, it will definitely not be as good as the original factory windshield. There are generally two reasons for replacing the windshield: one is scratches on the glass that affect visibility, and the other is damage points on the glass that compromise safety. The maintenance methods for the windshield are as follows: 1. Proper use of windshield washer fluid: During regular windshield maintenance, choose the appropriate washer fluid based on the season and weather conditions. When the windshield surface appears blurry, cleaning it with the right washer fluid can make it much clearer. If you notice glare issues at night, you can also wipe the glass with washer fluid. Additionally, when driving on highways or in dusty conditions, washer fluid is used up quickly, so it's important to replenish it promptly. 2. Adding washer fluid yourself: The easiest way to add washer fluid is to have a car wash or repair shop do it for you, but the cost will be higher than buying a bottle and doing it yourself. This task is not difficult, and car owners can easily do it themselves. Generally, purchased washer fluid needs to be diluted before use—just follow the instructions on the bottle. When adding washer fluid yourself, be careful not to overfill it. If there are some bubbles at the container opening, don’t worry; it won’t affect usage. 3. Apply heat-insulating film to the windows: In summer, a thin layer of heat-insulating film can make a big difference, blocking the scorching sun while also providing heat insulation and UV protection. 4. Get glass insurance for peace of mind: Glass breakage insurance is a type of commercial insurance where the insurer compensates for losses due to the insured vehicle’s windshield or window glass (excluding headlights and mirrors) breaking during use.
