Is Your Windshield Ready for the Road? Checklist for Your Toyota

Jan 7, 2014

The windshield of your vehicle is very important to your driving safety. Even smudges and dirt can make it dangerous to drive on the road because it reduces your visibility. If you’ve ever driven with a dirty windshield in direct sun you already know what a driving hazard it can be and how distracting it is when trying to focus on the road. Our Toyota service center recommends regular windshield maintenance for your safety and the safety of your passengers.

Windshields need to be cleaned on a regular basis inside and out. A quality glass cleaner and a lint free cloth are necessary. A good tip for clean windows is to clean the outside in a north-south direction while cleaning the inside in an east-west direction. If there are any streaks, you’ll know which side of the windshield needs follow up work.

A professional cleaning at our Enterprise area Toyota service center is recommended on a routine basis to remove the tough grime like cigarette smoke to get windows clean. Our dealership can also inspect the condition of your windshield wipers to ensure they are able to tackle the weather conditions effectively. We can also make sure the fluid reserve is full.

If your windshield has nicks, cracks, or other damage we can repair the glass if issues are minor or we can replace the entire windshield to ensure you are safe. Windshield damage is not something you should neglect. Cracks can grow more serious and your windshield may not be able to protect you as it should if compromised. Let us inspect damage as soon as it occurs to protect the integrity of your Toyota.
