It sounds like a line from a Dr. Seuss book, but if you are
driving the highways of the Kansas City area this summer it can be all too
real. When that stray pebble hits your
windshield, it may start out as a tiny hole.
Before you know it, your vision may be obscured by a growing “spider”
expanding its way across the glass.
Can a cracked windshield shatter? The short answer is YES! Windshields are held in place with strong
urethane adhesives, which prevent leaks, noise and movement of the glass. Because the glass is laminated, the entire
windshield generally won’t separate from the frame. That does not mean it is safe. Your windshield’s structural integrity has
been compromised.
Don’t tempt fate!
Make an appointment to have your car’s windshield replaced by the
A-Team. That’s the team of auto care
professionals at Able Auto Service. They
