Weekend freeway closures mean more Houston drivers on frontage roads and detours right now, and those roads can be rough on your windshield.
Construction zones, gravel shoulders, and uneven pavement kick up more debris than the main lanes do. A stone off a dump truck ahead or grit thrown up by the car in front can leave a chip before you're back on the freeway. If you've taken a detour this weekend, it's worth a quick look at your glass when you park, especially the lower edge and corners where damage hides.
Your windshield is the primary barrier between you and the road, so don't ignore anything new that's in your line of sight. Caught a chip on a detour? Contact Affordable Auto Glass for a quote.
