Windscreen and Windshields

Your windscreen and windows help protect you while you drive. Cracks, chips and cleanliness can all impact the durability and integrity of these parts of your vehicle. Cracks and chips in your windscreen will affect the roadworthiness of your car and must be repaired as soon as possible. If the systems used to clean your windscreen are not in top shape then it could start to affect the visibility you have while operating your vehicle.

Common Windscreen Problems

Windscreen issues are usually pretty obvious. They affect visibility and can cause obvious draughts and noticeably unusual sounds while driving. If you do notice any issues with your windscreen it is essential to have it repaired or replaced quickly. The integrity of your windscreen is incredibly important to the safety standards of your vehicle. Keep an eye out for the below problems and contact a windscreen specialist through Enji if you require assistance.

Chips and Cracks

Impacts on your windscreen or unusual changes in pressure applied can cause chips or cracks to appear. Chips don’t always require complete windscreen replacement but they always need to be checked and repaired by a qualified professional. More serious cracks will often mean the entire screen needs to be replaced by a qualified professional. Chips and cracks aren’t only a risk due to impacted visibility but often represent a loss of integrity for your windscreen. Not addressing new chips and cracks can further increase risk of your windscreen becoming completely compromised in the event of further impact or pressure changes.

Cleanliness

Windscreen and Windshield services also focus on the cleanliness of your cars screens and the mechanics responsible for maintaining them. So your chosen professional will be able to assess and replace your wipers and cleaning materials if required. It’s always worth ensuring that the cleanliness of your windscreen can be maintained so that there is no risk of impacted visibility.

Being unable to address issues of cleanliness and visibility can also lead to more long term staining and warping of field of view. If an issue evolves into a more long term staining issue then it may require a replacement of the screen rather then just maintenance or repair.

Faulty Sealing

If you’re hearing whistling noises while driving, or experiencing unexpected draughts making their way into the interior of the vehicle via the windscreen, then there may be a seals issue. It is unlikely that your windscreen’s seals will become compromised during driving and likely is an installation issue. If your windscreen service is performed by a professional who does not have a good understanding of windscreen install then sealing issues is one of the most common issues that can arise.

Sealing issues are the most difficult to detect in your windscreen or windshields so if you suspect that something is wrong it’s important to have a specialist give your vehicle a once over.

What to expect from an Windscreen and Windshields service.

If you’ve encountered an issue with your windscreen and taken it for service it is worth expecting a need for replacement. Your windscreen is essential for your safety so your chosen professional will be striving to keep its integrity acceptable while not incurring excessive cost. But just because your windscreen has become chipped doesn’t automatically mean you will need to replace it. Some smaller chips and cracks can be filled in using resin or other materials and if staining and cleanliness is the issue it may just be a case of fixing the systems required for cleaning. As such make sure you book in a service as soon as you notice issues to keep your car safe and roadworthy.
