What Should I Do If Someone Breaks Into My Car?
If someone has broken into your vehicle, your first priorities are staying safe, documenting the damage, and protecting your vehicle from further damage.
Before moving or cleaning anything, take clear photos of the damage from multiple angles in case you need to provide documentation to your insurance company. GlassMasters can help secure your vehicle with complimentary crash wrap and assist with replacing your damaged auto glass.
We understand how upsetting it can be to discover a broken vehicle window unexpectedly. Our goal is to make the next steps as simple and stress-free as possible.
What Should I Do Immediately After a Car Break-In?
1. Make Sure You Are Safe
Before approaching your vehicle, make sure there is no immediate safety concern. If the break-in has just occurred or you believe there may still be a risk, contact the appropriate authorities before handling the vehicle.
2. Take Photos Before Cleaning Anything
Before removing glass, moving items, or covering the broken window, take clear photos of the damage.
We recommend photographing:
- The damaged window or affected area from multiple angles.
- The exterior of the vehicle.
- The interior showing broken glass.
- Any damage to doors, locks, trim, or surrounding areas.
- Any items that may have been damaged or disturbed.
These photos may be helpful if you need to provide documentation to your insurance company. Once cleanup begins, some details of the damage may no longer be visible.
3. Avoid Handling Broken Glass With Bare Hands
Automotive tempered glass can break into thousands of small pieces. Wear gloves if you need to move loose glass, and avoid placing your hands near areas where glass may be hidden.
4. Protect Your Vehicle From Weather
If you need to drive your vehicle before repairs can be completed, temporarily cover the opening to help prevent rain, snow, and debris from entering.
Recommended temporary protection:
- Clear plastic bags or similar temporary coverings.
- A towel or protective covering over seats if needed.
- Materials that will not damage your vehicle's paint or trim.
5. Visit GlassMasters for Complimentary Crash Wrap
GlassMasters offers complimentary crash wrap to help protect your vehicle until replacement glass is available.
When you arrive, our team can:
- Safely secure the damaged opening.
- Remove loose glass from accessible areas.
- Inspect the damage.
- Provide a no-obligation quote for replacement.
If you choose to proceed with the repair, we will order the correct replacement glass and contact you when it arrives.
Why Is Proper Broken Glass Cleanup Important?
Replacing the broken window is only part of completing the repair properly.
When tempered automotive glass breaks, pieces can fall inside doors, liftgates, quarter panels, and other hidden areas of the vehicle. If those pieces remain, they can:
- Create rattling noises while driving.
- Interfere with window regulators, locks, and latches.
- Collect near drain holes and prevent proper water drainage.
- Remain hidden and create future issues.
During a tempered glass replacement, GlassMasters technicians vacuum the vehicle interior and remove broken glass from inside affected doors or panels whenever accessible. This helps ensure the repair is complete and reduces the chance of future problems caused by leftover glass.
How Should I Temporarily Cover a Broken Car Window?
If you need to temporarily cover the opening before reaching GlassMasters, use materials that protect your vehicle without damaging the paint or trim.
Recommended materials:
- Clear plastic bags.
- Low-residue tape such as painter's tape or masking tape.
- Proper automotive crash wrap materials.
Avoid using:
- Duct tape.
- Tuck tape.
- Industrial waterproof tapes.
- Other high-strength adhesive products.
These products can remove clear coat, damage paint, and leave adhesive residue on automotive trim, especially if left on the vehicle for an extended period.
GlassMasters provides complimentary crash wrap using appropriate automotive materials designed to protect your vehicle until replacement glass can be installed.
