Checking your windshield is important because a ding that occurs in spring or summer can cause a break in the winter. Most people drive more in warm weather and more driving means more vibration, which can cause a ding to expand into a cracked windshield. Here are some things to keep in mind: -Don't touch a ding or attempt to repair it yourself. Without special equipment and training, you will only contaminate the damaged area, making repairs hard to complete. - As a temporary measure, put a piece of clear tape, like packing tape, over the ding. This won't keep the ding from spreading, but will help prevent contamination. -Don't wash the vehicle-especially through the car wash. Soap and water can contaminate the spot and a high-pressure wash can cause the ding to expand. -Driving a vehicle with a windshield ding causes vibration and exposure to the elements cause the ding to spread.
