Winter weather brings a host of challenges that can threaten your car's performance and longevity. From icy roads to harsh winds and rock salt, many factors can damage your vehicle. Your windshield and its components are especially vulnerable to cracks and other issues, which can compromise safety and visibility. As the cold season approaches, it's important to take proactive steps to protect your car. Here’s what you should know to keep your vehicle in top shape this winter. **Cracks in the Windshield** Glass is sensitive to temperature changes. It naturally expands and contracts with the weather, but extreme shifts—like pouring hot water on an icy windshield—can cause serious damage. This sudden temperature change can lead to cracks or even shattered glass. Moisture trapped in existing chips or cracks can also be problematic. When temperatures drop, the moisture inside can freeze and expand, increasing pressure on the glass and causing cracks to grow. To prevent this, it’s best to have any small chips or cracks repaired before winter sets in. **Improper Ice Removal** Some people try quick fixes like using a knife or shovel to break up ice, but these methods can do more harm than good. Sharp tools can scratch or chip the windshield, creating entry points for moisture that may worsen over time. Instead, use a proper ice scraper designed for the job. Move it horizontally across the surface to remove ice without damaging the glass. Turning on your car and using the defroster can also help make the process easier and more efficient. **Road Debris and Salt Damage** If you park near the road, your car is at risk from road debris. Rock salt can corrode the undercarriage and frame, leading to rust, especially if there are scratches or gaps where moisture can get in. Small stones, branches, and even broken asphalt can hit your windshield and cause chips or larger cracks. If possible, park in a garage or away from the street to minimize exposure. **Damaged Wiper Blades** Cold weather can cause wiper blades to crack or wear out faster. If you don’t lift them off the windshield when snow is expected, they can freeze in place and become damaged. Faulty wipers can reduce visibility during rain or snow, posing a serious safety risk. Replace your wiper blades before winter and check the fluid level. When parking in snowy conditions, angle the wipers away from the windshield to avoid freezing.
