Southern California is a sunny part of the world. Long Beach usually only sees around 21 days of rain per year. But why is this important when it comes to auto glass Long Beach services? The answer to that question is because auto glass fluctuates with the temperature just like everything else. The sun beating down on your auto glass all day raises the temperature of the glass and the interior. It can easily reach 140 degrees on an 80-degree day. And much higher on hot summer days – more than 170-degrees. The glass expands as the molecules get more and more excited. The crack or chip expands along with the glass, creating more ‘empty space’. Then in the evening, the glass cools and shrinks back down to size. The newly elongated crack can’t shrink, so your crack runs.
This is why it is critical to get your windshield repaired as soon as possible so that you can avoid windshield replacement. If you wait too long, the Long Beach will make sure that you have to go through a full auto glass replacement service instead of a simple crack repair that costs less and only takes about 30 minutes.
