5 Ways to Identify Stress Cracks in Your Windshield
Check for a Smooth, Impact-Free Crack:
Stress cracks usually appear as clean, straight lines with no visible impact point from debris or rocks.
Look for Edge-Originating Cracks:
Most stress cracks start from the windshield’s edges and gradually spread across the glass.
Sudden Temperature Changes
: If your windshield cracked after using hot water or defrosting in extreme cold, it’s likely a stress crack.
Windshield Age & Weakness
: Older windshields with small chips or weak spots are more prone to stress cracks, even with slight pressure.
No Sound on Impact:
Unlike impact cracks, stress cracks form silently—no loud noise or sudden breakage occurs.
