Your windshield is a marvel of strength. Whether you know it or not, stones and debris hit it every time you drive—and usually nothing happens. But you can’t get lucky every day, and occasionally a stone will make a star-like crack in the glass. It might not look like much, but it’s a serious problem. The crack can grow across your entire windshield. Left unattended, even the tiniest nick can invisibly weaken the windshield structure, which puts you in danger during a crash. Crack repair kits can be purchased at any auto parts store, but play it safe and visit your dealer, who’ll confirm the extent of the damage and fix it correctly. Should you need a new windshield, your dealer will replace it to factory standard, allowing you to hit the road with confidence.
