rain, dust and wind. It also reduces the risk of injury in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A windscreen is&nbsp;made&nbsp;of annealed glass&nbsp;via&nbsp;a&nbsp;thermal&nbsp;tempering&nbsp;process that further strengthens the glass structure in terms of its durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, damages such as a crack or breakage could still happen in an unforeseen situation. These are some causes that may cause your windscreen to shatter or break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"windscreen-hit-by-pebbles-or-foreign-objects\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Windscreen_hit_by_pebbles_or_foreign_objects\"><\/span>Windscreen hit by pebbles or foreign objects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our vehicles are exposed to risks when we drive on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risks include being hit by foreign objects such as fragments of stone, wood, sand and others. These objects could hit your windshield or \u2018bounce\u2019 onto other vehicles like trucks and indirectly cause your windshield to crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a precaution, do not drive too close to heavy vehicles, especially lorries. The loads that they carry may harm your vehicle. In addition to protecting your windscreen, you are also saving your life from an untoward incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"windscreen-crushed-by-tree-branches-or-twigs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Windscreen_crushed_by_tree_branches_or_twigs\"><\/span>Windscreen crushed by tree branches or twigs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"21659\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/insurans-kereta\/kenapa-cermin-kereta-retak-atau-pecah\/attachment\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Windscreen crushed by tree branches or twigs\" class=\"wp-image-21659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>People usually prefer to park their cars under a tree to avoid the scorching sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the shade may save your car paint, it is risky for your car. Your car may be at risk of being hit by tree branches or twigs, especially if there is a sudden strong wind or heavy rain. This will damage your windscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"windscreen-cracks-due-to-the-weather\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Windscreen_cracks_due_to_the_weather\"><\/span>Windscreen cracks due to the weather<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperature alone can be the cause of a crack in your windscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each side of the windshield has a different rate of shrinkage and expansion. For example, the heat rate of the windshield on the side is faster than in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your windscreen can crack unexpectedly if your car is often exposed to heat. This is because of the high potential of the metal material on the car frame to quickly heat the mirror&#8217;s edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"improper-installation-of-windscreen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improper_installation_of_windscreen\"><\/span>Improper installation of windscreen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"21661\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/insurans-kereta\/kenapa-cermin-kereta-retak-atau-pecah\/attachment\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pemasangan cermin yang tidak betul juga boleh menyebabkan cermin kereta rosak\" class=\"wp-image-21661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/photo_2022-02-03_17-56-04-2.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor installation quality may contribute to windscreen damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improper installation may lead to vibration and pressure, which in turn causes the windscreen to crack or break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is rarely damaged because of the installation quality, you still have to be careful. You are advised to use a windshield specialist&#8217;s service to reduce this risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"windscreen-damage-because-of-an-accident\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Windscreen_damage_because_of_an_accident\"><\/span>Windscreen damage because of an accident<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to vehicle-to-vehicle accidents, your windscreen can also crack or break if you have an accident with animals such as birds or others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we advise you to drive carefully to protect your vehicle and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"can-you-make-an-insurance-claim-for-windscreen-damage\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_make_an_insurance_claim_for_windscreen_damage\"><\/span>Can you make an insurance claim for windscreen damage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. You may claim from your insurer to repair your windscreen damage if you have <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/comprehensive-car-insurance\/\">comprehensive insurance<\/a> coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you will lose your <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/a-guide-to-no-claim-discount-ncd\/\">No-Claim Discount (NCD)<\/a> if you do not have additional windscreen cover when claiming insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your information, you are only eligible to claim insurance (with windscreen add-on cover) once a year without affecting your NCD rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the premium for windscreen coverage is 15% of the amount of your mirror. You may refer to our previous articles to know the premium windscreen coverage for local and imported cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-claim-insurance-for-a-cracked-windscreen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_claim_insurance_for_a_cracked_windscreen\"><\/span>How to claim insurance for a cracked windscreen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Send your car to your insurance panel workshop.
