Although it may sound strange, there could very well be a time when you’ll need to break the glass in your car. When would such a situation occur? Well, we’ve all locked our keys in our car at one time or another, and if this happens to you and you don’t have time to call AAA or a locksmith, you may need to break your own glass to get into your car. If you are in a car accident and your door is pinned or damaged and you can’t get it open, you may have to break a window to get out safely.
Obviously, the need to break auto glass isn’t a common occurrence and we all hope we’re never in one of the situations outlined above, but in the event we are the tips below for breaking auto glass will come in handy:
• In order to effectively break auto glass, you’ll need to prepare the object you’re going to use to strike it with. The reason behind this is that glass breaks easiest when hit in a small area with maximum force. You should preferably use something like a hammer or an ice pick to break auto glass, but those items aren’t always readily available. What you shouldn’t do is try to use a large surface to break the glass because it would take too much force to do so successfully.
• Keep in mind that a windshield is going to be hard to break because they are made of laminated safety glass designed to offer optimum safety in the event of a crash. The side and rear windows are made of tempered glass, which is designed to disintegrate into small pieces upon impact. If you need to get into or out of your car for some reason, your best bet is to break one of these windows instead of the windshield or the rear window. However, you should know that because the glass is tempered you’ll have to use considerable force to break it.
Although this may seem like an obtuse topic, you’d be surprised at how many people get in an emergency situation where they need to break the glass in their own car. If you’re ever in a position where you need to do this, keep the above information in mind.
