Back to School and Windshield Safety: What You Need to Know

Writer's picture: Optic-Kleer PlanoOptic-Kleer Plano

With the school year just around the corner, we're all getting back into the groove of early mornings and busy schedules. While you’re sorting out backpacks and lunchboxes, don’t forget about your vehicle’s windshield. It’s easy to overlook, but keeping it in good shape is key to keeping everyone safe on the road.


Why You Should Care About Your Windshield


Your windshield does more than just shield you from wind and rain. It’s a big part of your car’s safety system, helping to keep the structure of your car intact and protecting you and your passengers. As traffic picks up with the school rush, it’s super important to make sure your windshield is crack free and clear.


Watch Out for These Common Issues


  1. Windshield Wipers: Worn out wipers can leave streaks or make it hard to see, especially during those surprise rain showers here is DFW. Make sure your wipers are in good shape before school starts.

  2. Windshield Seal: The seal around your windshield keeps it secure and helps prevent leaks. If it’s worn out or damaged, you might end up with water leaks and other issues.

  3. Cracks and Chips: Even tiny chips can turn into big problems if left unchecked. Temperature changes, road debris, and even minor bumps can make those little imperfections worse, which can impact your visibility and safety.



Tips to Keep Your Windshield in Top Shape


  1. Check It Regularly: Take a moment to look over your windshield for any cracks or chips. Catching problems early can save you a lot of hassle later on.

  2. Fix Problems Fast: If you spot a chip or crack, don’t wait around. Reach out to Spencer at Optic-Kleer Plano he’s great at working with your busy schedule and can even meet you at places like your kid’s soccer practice to get things sorted quickly.

  3. Wiper Care: Make sure your wipers are doing their job. Replace them if they’re getting old or not performing well.

  4. Avoid Extreme Temp Changes: Sudden changes in temperature can make cracks worse. Try not to blast hot or cold air directly at a damaged windshield.

  5. Get Quality Repairs: When it comes to replacing or fixing your windshield, go with a trusted provider. At Optic-Kleer Plano, we offer top notch repairs and replacements to keep your view clear and your ride safe. We provide the best warranties in the industry!


With school starting up again, roads are going to get busier, so it’s a great time to check your windshield. Taking care of any issues now will help keep you and your family safe on the road.

Let’s make sure your windshield is as ready for the school year as you are. Drive safely!
