If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a “best” time of year to replace your windshield, you’re not alone. Many drivers assume it’s better to wait until spring or summer, believing warmer temperatures make windshield replacement easier.
The truth is much simpler: the best time to replace your windshield is as soon as you notice damage.
Whether it’s January in the middle of a Minnesota snowstorm or a hot July afternoon, Twin Cities Auto Glass replaces windshields safely and professionally 12 months a year. Modern installation materials and expert installation techniques allow our technicians to perform quality windshield replacements in every season.
Don’t Wait for the “Perfect” Season
A small rock chip may seem harmless today, but it doesn’t take much for it to become a long crack that requires a full windshield replacement. Temperature swings, potholes, rough roads, and everyday driving can all cause windshield damage to spread unexpectedly.
In the Midwest, we experience all four seasons—and each one presents challenges for damaged auto glass.
- Winter: Freezing temperatures and defroster use can cause existing cracks to expand.
- Spring: Potholes and loose gravel increase the chances of rock chips.
- Summer: Extreme heat causes the glass to expand, making existing damage worse.
- Fall: Cooler mornings and warm afternoons create temperature fluctuations that can stress already damaged glass.
No matter the season, delaying repairs usually doesn’t improve the situation. In many cases, the damage only gets worse over time.
Yes, Windshields Can Be Replaced in Winter
One of the biggest misconceptions is that windshield replacement should wait until warmer weather.
At Twin Cities Auto Glass, that’s simply not the case.
Our experienced technicians replace windshields throughout the winter using professional-grade adhesives designed to perform in colder temperatures. We follow manufacturer installation procedures year-round, ensuring your new windshield is installed correctly regardless of the season.
Minnesota winters don’t stop us from helping drivers get back on the road safely.
Safety Should Always Come First
Your windshield does much more than keep bugs and weather outside your vehicle.
It is a critical structural component that helps support your vehicle’s roof, provides proper airbag deployment, and gives you a clear view of the road ahead. Driving with a cracked windshield can reduce visibility and compromise your vehicle’s safety systems.
If you notice a crack that’s growing or damage that’s obstructing your view, don’t wait for a more convenient time of year. Schedule your replacement as soon as possible.
