Why cracks spread in Alberta
Cold mornings, a blasting defroster and gravel on winter roads put a lot of stress on a windshield. A chip that looks harmless in the fall can run into a crack across the glass by January, and a cracked windshield needs to be replaced.
When to book a replacement
- A crack that is spreading across the glass
- Damage in the driver's line of sight
- Damage near the edge of the windshield
- Glass damaged in a collision
Cameras and sensors
Many newer vehicles have a camera behind the windshield for lane keeping and automatic braking. When new glass goes in, that camera may need to be calibrated. Fix Auto Sherwood North coordinates calibration through a trusted partner, so it's done before you pick up. See what ADAS recalibration involves.
