PHOENIX - July 8, 2025 - PRLog -- Extreme temperatures can cause auto glass to expand or contract

The Phoenix area's average summer temperature of 105 degrees may be a "dry heat," but your auto glass doesn't notice whether it's humid or not. All it knows is the air is really hot – even more so when exposed to the sun. The result is a little chip or crack may expand into a full-blown broken windshield before you know it.

Extreme temperatures, such as the 117 degrees the Phoenix area had in June, can cause glass to expand when it's hot and contract when it's cold. This thermal dynamic is behind many of the broken windshield cases the Same Day Windshields team resolves during the course of the summer.

What begins as minor damage can develop into large cracks quickly in the Arizona heat. This creates serious safety issues, particularly when the cracks or chips are in your line of sight. The choice between windshield glass repair vs. replacement becomes a non-issue when visibility is compromised.

Replace damaged glass before it becomes a broken windshield

As tempting as it may be to put off replacing a broken windshield when the damage is still relatively minor, experts recommend taking action as soon as possible to avoid the rapid expansion of cracks that can occur during periods of high temperatures.

Our helpful customer service representatives can schedule a visit from one of our mobile technicians to replace your broken windshield, usually quicker than the national chains. Same-day service is a possibility if scheduling allows and we have your specific glass in stock.
