We already know about the basics of winter safety such as winter tires and winter wipers, but what about windshield safety? This one is often overlooked because it’s not something you replace seasonally, you replace it as needed. But if an issue arises, it’s important to know when it needs to be replaced as well as general care tips for the winter months.

Picture this, you’re driving along the snowy roads when suddenly a tractor trailer in front of you kicks up a large rock-like substance, and wham! An immediate crack forms in your windshield. With a common situation like this it’s often resolved with a simple phone call to your insurance company. But, it can be difficult to schedule an appointment, and if the crack is right in your line of vision you do not want to be driving.

Check out these winter windshield care tips to help avoid a crack in your windshield this winter. And even if it does occur, read what not to do to avoid worsening the crack:

• Remove all snow and ice from the front and back windshield before leaving the house to ensure full visibility, and double check to make sure there are no existing cracks already.
• Leave your windshield wipers out and up when you park your car. This will help prolong their durability.
• Consider getting a windshield cover to prevent frost and snow from accumulating on your windshield.
• Allow the windshield to heat up gradually by using the defroster on a lower level as opposed to blasting the heat immediately.
• Never pour hot or boiling water onto your windshield, this will cause damage.
• If there is a chip or crack, be sure to replace it as soon as possible so it doesn’t become larger.

The last thing you want is to be stuck at an automotive center in the middle of winter. Make sure you take the time each day to care for your windshield so you can travel safely in your Chevy this season.

The holiday season is in full swing! Put your remote start to use and get the car nice and toasty from the comfort of your couch.

Neighborhood Lights
How about a nice evening cruise to see some holiday lights in the neighborhood? Which neighbors go above and beyond? If you don’t already know, you’ll see them from a mile away. Nothing gets everyone in the holiday spirit quite like “Silent Night” blasting through the Chevy entertainment system, and some colorful flashing lights.

Sledding
Where’s the best spot in town for the kids to hop on the toboggan and go flying down a hill? Pure joy will hit their faces as the powdery snow does the same. Could be a nice excuse to take full advantage of your four-wheel drive too!

Go See Santa
No matter what the weather conditions are, no matter how much snow is falling or ice is on the roads, you can feel confident driving with the performance and safety features in your Chevrolet. No excuse can hold you back from getting your little ones on the big jolly fella’s lap and telling him what they hope to find under the tree next week!
