NEW TONIGHT --NOT ONLY HAS THE
HEAT REACHED RECORD-BREAKING
TEMPERATURES... BUT ITS BEEN
HOT ENOUGH TO BREAK
WINDSHIELDS AND CAR WINDOWS.
WE'VE BEEN GETTING REPORTS OF
THIS HAPPENING IN OUR STATE..
AFTER CARS HAVE SAT IN THE
EXTREME HEAT FOR DAYS ON END.
NEWS 8'S BOB WILSON IS LIVE
TONIGHT WITH THE STORY... BOB?
WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE
STORY FROM ONE OF OUR
ENGINEERS, I WAS THINKING IT
DOESN'T REALLY SOUND RIGHT
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE HEAT
BLOWING OUT A WINDSHIELD, BUT
AFTER MAKING SOME CALLS AND
DOING SOME RESEARCH, WE GOT
SOME ANSWERS AND IT'S TRUE.
JUST DRIVING TO WORK THIS
AFTERNOON THE THERMOMETER ON
THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK READ
1000 ON THE ASPHALT OF
INTERSTATE 84. WHEN I FIRST
GOT IN IT WAS HOTTER THAN THAT.
BITE 1"A LOT OF TIMES THIS
YEAR YOU WILL GET 200 2250F
INSIDE THE CARS AND YOU TURN
THE AC ON AND THAT'S IT
SHATTERED GLASS." THAT'S RIGHT
THE HEAT CAN TAKE OUT YOUR
BACK WINDOW OR FRONT
WINDSHIELD, IF YOU COOL IT
DOWN TOO QUICKLY. THE
CONTRACTING FROM THE
AIR-CONDITIONER CAN CAUSE
CRACKING OR COMPLETE FAILURE,
ESPECIALLY IF IT'S MADE
VULNERABLE BY SAND AND ROAD
GRIT. BITE 2"ANY CHIP THAT YOU
GOT OVER THE WINTER, WILL BLOW
YOUR WINDSHIELD RIGHT NOW."
STAND UP"LITTLE TINY CHIP THIS
IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
RIGHT HERE, THIS LITTLE CHIP
IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT YOU
PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN NOTICE,
THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO CAUSE
A PROBLEM WHEN YOU START
COOLING YOUR CAR IN THIS HEAT.
THE PROBLEM IS THE FRONT OF
THE WINDSHIELD YOU'RE JUST
GOING TO SEE SPIDERING ON THAT
BECAUSE THE TEMPERED GLASS IS
LAMINATED BETWEEN TWO FILMS.
THE BACK GLASS IS JUST
TEMPERED GLASS AND IF YOU HAVE
IT SHIPPED IN THERE AND YOU
TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER ON,
IT IS GOING TO POP IN EXPLODE
THAT IS WHY YOU WANT TO CHECK
YOUR BACK WINDSHIELD AND YOUR
FRONT WINDSHIELD FOR THOSE
TINY LITTLE STONE CHIPS." BITE
3IF YOU HAVE ANY STONE CHIPS
NOW CURRENTLY, DEFINITELY CALL
YOUR INSURANCE PUT IN A GLASS
CLAIM AND MOST OF THE TIME YOU
HAVE A ZERO DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE
THEY COME RIGHT UP TO YOUR
HOUSE AND THEY WILL CHANGE IT
FOR YOU." SO HOW DO YOU KEEP
YOUR WINDSHIELD FROM FALLING
VICTIM TO THE HEAT? WHEN YOU
FIRST GET IN THE CAR ROLL DOWN
THE WINDOWS AND AIR IT OUT,
LET THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE
BECOME THE SAME AS THE
EXTERIOR, THEN PUT YOUR AIR
CONDITIONER ON FOR A MINUTE OR
TWO WITH THE WINDOWS HALFWAY.
THEN ROLL THEM UP AND YOU
SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO AND LOOK
FOR THE WARNING SIGNS. BITE 4
"YOU'LL EVEN SEE THINGS LIKE
A SMALL CHIP TURN INTO A BIG
CRACK TURN INTO A BIGGER CRACK
YOU'LL SEE THAT GROW THIS TIME
OF YEAR, BUT SOMETIMES THE
TEMPER GLASS JUST EXPLODES."
AND WE JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE
AGAIN, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS
DESIGNED NEVER TO EXPLODE AND
FALL INTO YOUR LAP, THAT'S
ONLY THE BACK WINDSHIELD.
