Warm weather is finally making its way to Northeast Ohio. But did you know that with the warm weather, it’s more important than ever to pay attention to the maintenance of your vehicle’s windshield and auto glass?

With excessive humidity, sun, and heat exposure in the summer, your vehicle’s auto glass is at risk of a variety of problems, including becoming extremely faded and, depending on the differencing in outside temperatures and the air conditioning inside the car, your windshield could easily begin to crack and shatter.

Summer in Northeast Ohio is only a few short months, so here are 5 tips to maintain your windshield and ensure you have a shatter, crack, and scratch free summer.

Having your car sit in direct sunlight for long periods of time can cause extremely faded window tint. That is because the ultra violet rays of the sun oxidize glass, causing the discoloration and in some cases, bubbling. 2. When you get in the car, try to avoid turning on your AC to full blast. If it’s hot outside, and you try to blast cold air inside, it can cause a big conflict in temperature. By gradually turning on the AC, cracks and shatters can be avoided. 3.
