Cracks in the Windshield
Cracks in the windshield can appear completely unexpectedly, for example, from a sudden temperature change or from a stone chip hitting the glass directly.
Of course, this method is temporary, but it will help as a first aid. Apply clear nail polish on both sides of the crack. This will help prevent the crack from spreading.
Removing Stickers with a Wet Newspaper
It sometimes happens that specialized stickers are placed on car windows. This also applies to the common practice of advertising or posting a "for sale" sign on the vehicle. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective method to get rid of them: use a newspaper soaked in warm water and placed over the sticker. This will soften the adhesive to the right consistency, allowing you to easily remove it from the glass. Any sticky residue can be scraped off using a razor blade.
