Tips For Auto Window Replacement

Howdy, howdy! How are you spending the long holiday so far? Among our activity was an overnight camping by the local beach of Ras Al Kaimah - about two hours drive from Dubai. Not too far from our campsite is terrain for off-road. The local Emiratis take pride of their 4X4 SUVs and watching them maneuver their Toyota Land Cruisers, going up and down the rough road, we can't help but admire such adventurous spirit.

An unfortunate thing happened though because one of the camper's saloon car was hit by a stone debris causing a chip on the window shield. The debris most likely came from the off-road terrain. They did warn everyone to stay further from the area but because we don't see such display of vehicle capability too often, many people insisted on driving closer to have a better look.

I wondered how we should handle a car window replacement so I did a little reading. I share with you today the basics of what every car-owner must know when sustained with a broken or chipped glass window.

1. If the glass window is shattered, opt for replacement. If it is cracked, you can contact an auto glass company to help you assess the damage and prevent the drack from spreading further. Usually, a crack on window shield worsens due to changing weather temperature.

2. Check your insurance coverage. 

3. If you decide to replace, contact several reputable auto glass companies such as Gresham Glass for Glass Replacement Portland. Compare quotes. Inquire as well about warranty information. There are some companies who offer an option for extended warranty.
