How to Protect Your Vehicle After a Broken Car Window

Use gloves when collecting large glass pieces and keep children and pets away from the vehicle. Check door pockets, floor mats, and seat tracks for smaller shards before using the car.

Covering the opening can reduce exposure to rain and debris, but plastic is only a temporary measure. Avoid operating the damaged window mechanism until the glass and regulator have been inspected.

When calling for replacement, identify the exact door and vehicle model. A mobile technician can often complete the replacement at your location.
