You often forget that aside from the design and mechanical function of your car, the windshield is one of the car parts you need to give importance. If you are planning a vacation with your family, the first thing you are giddy to buy is the food and outfit. However, you forgot that you also need to look after your car.

If your seatbelt protects you and your family from danger, keep in mind that having cracks on your car’s windshield is more dangerous. Never fix it by yourself. If you do, you might end up worsening the problem. Below are the types of windshield cracks you need to be familiar with.
