What temporary measures can I take to cover broken windshield or door glass?

Hey folks! This is Patrick from Chip Happens Auto Glass.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"What temporary measures can I take to cover broken windshield or door glass?"

Answer

For door glass, you can purchase a plastic window covering kit from an auto parts store for around $20. These are ideal because they’re see-through and designed specifically for this situation. People also get creative with cardboard, plastic bags, and tape, but visibility should always be a priority.

For a broken windshield, a securely mounted tarp or car cover can help temporarily protect the vehicle until a technician arrives. The key is keeping the covering secure and minimizing exposure.

Summary

Patrick suggests plastic window kits for door glass and tarps or car covers for windshields as temporary solutions.
