How to Know if Your Windshield Should be Repaired or Replaced?

Getting a chip or crack in your windshield can be a maddening experience. Deciding whether you need to repair or replace your auto glass can help you to save money and keep your vehicle safe.

Get it Repaired:

Small chips or cracks may not require replacing the entire windshield, and having them filled in can stop them from spreading and ruining the rest of your glass. Typically, if a chip is smaller than a quarter, is not close to the edge, and does not interfere with the driver’s ability to see, it can be repaired and you won’t need to get a whole new windshield.

Get it Replaced:

If you have a large crack that is longer than a few inches or that interferes with the driver’s line of sight, you’ll need to get your windshield replaced as soon as possible. Large cracks are dangerous to drive with, and you can even be cited by law enforcement for operating an unsafe vehicle.

Care for Your Car:

Windshields are vital to the basic reliability of your vehicle. Ignoring small chips or cracks can cause small problems to become large ones that can damage the rest of your windshield. Driving with large cracks can be dangerous if you are involved in a collision, because the structural integrity of the windshield has been compromised and the glass cannot provide the same amount of protection. Knowing when to get your windshield repaired and when to get it replaced can help keep your vehicle and your passengers safe and sound.

Choosing A Camper Shell To Suit Your Vehicle

What to Consider When Choosing a Camper Shell?

Whether you head to the mountains or drive across the country, a truck can be a great way to haul all your gear. To keep your belongings protected from the elements and would-be thieves, you can cover the truck bed with a camper shell. Here are a couple of things to consider when choosing one for your vehicle.

How Much Will It Cost?

Truck caps come in different materials and designs, each with their own costs, so determine what your needs are before you shop. Then, you can better decide on your budget.

Aluminum toppers are lightweight and can be a good option if you will be driving long distances and want to save on gas. Fiberglass covers come in colors to match your truck, but they tend to be heavy. They are quite rugged, though, and can be a good option if you need serious durability.

There are a variety of styles available, starting with basic features and progressing to split-level versions. Even locking mechanisms can vary, from standard locks to keyless entry.

Will It Detract From the Vehicle?

Truck shells have a come a long way since the days of dull aluminum and colored glass. Today’s covers come in a range of colors that can enhance your vehicle, not detract from it. Other options include solid or split windows, rounded edges, and even door openings.

Deciding which shell best fits your needs depends on your budget and how you’ll be using it.

Choosing The Best Tonneau Cover For Work And Recreation

When you need to guard the contents in your truck bed but don’t want a camper shell, consider a Tonneau cover. These lids lie flat against the ridge of the bed to protect your belongings without changing the profile of your vehicle.

There are two types of Tonneau covers: soft and hard. Depending on your access and security needs, either can shelter your property.

Roll Up:

Soft roll-up caps are the cheapest and lightest option and could work well for the recreational user. They are opened by rolling the panel from the gate to the cab window. Some have fastening straps so they can be partially open while you’re driving, perfect when you are hauling tall loads.

Roll up hard tops are made of heavy-duty aluminum panels that are enclosed in vinyl. They still look and work like fabric ones, but they offer more protection from intruders.

Fold Up:

A fold-up soft cover is made of vinyl stretched over metal sections. You open it by folding the pieces over each other.

A hard fold up is similar in design. However, it can support an even load on top of it, making it multi-functional for work projects.

Hinged:

Both the soft and hard hinged topper attaches to the truck near the cab and lifts up at the gate. The hard top is made of fiberglass and is the most secure. It could work well for storing equipment.
