WABASH VALLEY (WTHI) - Cold temperatures are here, which means your car windshield must be in its best shape.
Many drivers might already have or end up with a chip on their windshield. If that s you, experts say you should get it taken care of now.
If your windshield has any damage like a chip or a crack, it could worsen with below-freezing temperatures. If you have a rock chip that doesn t get fixed, water gets into it, it freezes, it expands there, and then it splits the windshield, said William Presnell, manager at American Eagle Auto Glass in Terre Haute.
