When Your Windshield Shatters: What to Do

Updated July 25, 2026

If it happens while driving

Stay calm, ease off the accelerator, and pull over safely as soon as you can. Turn on your hazards. Don't punch or push on the glass — a laminated windshield stays together even when badly damaged, and forcing it can cause injury. Get everyone out on the safe side away from traffic.

Protect the car until it's fixed

  • Don't drive with a caved-in or vision-blocking windshield — call for service
  • Cover the opening with plastic and tape to keep out weather
  • Remove loose glass carefully with gloves
  • Photograph the damage for your insurance claim
