  5. It’ll be a couple days until I can get my windshield repaired. What should I do until then? The auto glass experts at Good Auto Glass suggest setting a repairment appointment as soon as any damage to your window or windshield is made note of. After scheduling a repair date, treat any damaged surfaces with gentle caution. Never try to buff out your chip at home, and make sure your damaged window is repaired before any major weather changes, as large fluctuations in temperature can cause chips to grow. You should also avoid washing your car or applying any internal pressure on the damaged area. Frequently further damage is caused by drivers applying pressure from inside the car, not realizing that pressure from the inside can often cause chips to grow into full cracks. Good Auto Glass also recommends staying away from any home remedy solutions that could cause left over debris and residue of foreign materials in your chip. Your best bet is to schedule an appointment and to keep your windshield crack as clean as possible.
