Storm Season Prep: Protecting Your Windscreen in Sydney

Storm Season Prep: Protecting Your Windscreen in Sydney

Sydney’s storm season brings heavy rain, hail and flying debris that can all take a toll on your windscreen. A little preparation can help you avoid unexpected damage.

Check Existing Chips Before Storm Season

Small chips can spread into larger cracks when exposed to heavy rain, hail impact or sudden temperature changes. Getting existing chips repaired before storms hit can prevent bigger problems.

Park Under Cover When Possible

If a storm is forecast, parking in a garage or under a carport can help protect your windscreen from hail and falling branches or debris.

After the Storm

Once conditions clear, check your windscreen carefully for chips, cracks or pitting. Damage isn’t always obvious at first glance, so take a moment to look closely, especially in direct sunlight.

FAQ

Should I repair a small chip before storm season?

Yes, it’s a good idea. A repaired chip is far less likely to spread into a crack during storm conditions than an untreated one.

Does insurance cover storm damage?

Many comprehensive policies do, but coverage varies. This isn’t financial advice – check your policy or speak with your insurer for specifics.

Do you offer mobile service after storms?

Yes, our mobile service covers greater Sydney – we can come to you to assess and repair or replace storm-damaged glass.
