Broken car window: What to do?
If you've just experienced a crash on the road or found your parked car with a broken window, it's understandable that you may be in shock. At Sekurit Partner, we're here to help you through this difficult situation. Here are some tips to help you act quickly and effectively in the event of a broken window:
- Stay calm and assess the damage. If you've been in a crash, check yourself and any passengers for injuries. If your car was parked, take a moment to assess the damage.
- If the damage is severe or you're not sure if it's safe to drive, don't attempt to move the vehicle. Instead, call emergency services and wait for their arrival.
- If the damage is minor and you can still drive safely, contact Sekurit Partner to schedule an appointment for repair. We offer a range of options, including in-center repairs and mobile service.
- If your car was broken into, report the incident to the police and your insurance company. You'll need to file a police report and provide documentation to your insurance company to make a claim.
Remember, Sekurit Partner is here to help you through this difficult time. Our expert teams are trained to handle all types of situations, and we'll work with you to get your vehicle back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.
Should I contact my insurance company in the event of broken glass?
If your car window was broken on purpose and items belonging to you were stolen or if the car window has been broken and other parts of your car are also damaged, you should contact your insurance company to report the break-in and theft and declare all the damages. However, in all other cases, there is no need to contact your insurance company before having your car glass replaced. At Sekurit Partner, we repair your windows and contact your insurance company directly. This means you don't have to fill out any paperwork, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. So, if you need to repair your car glass, simply contact Sekurit Partner, and we'll take care of the rest.
Priority 1: Secure your vehicle at one of our centres.
We understand that you need your car to remain mobile, and if it cannot be parked in a private, enclosed area, it must be locked immediately. That's why, at Sekurit Partner, we offer a solution to help you get back on the road as soon as possible. Simply visit the Sekurit Partner center that's most convenient for you, and we'll apply a plastic film to the area of your broken window. This will protect you from noise, rain, wind, and cold, and deter further break-ins to some extent. Additionally, it will protect the interior of your car. Finally, we'll arrange a quick appointment to replace your glass, so you can get back on the road safely and confidently.

Some tips when it comes to avoiding broken glass
Our car glazing experts have provided some helpful tips to avoid a broken window:
- Keep your distance: When overtaking or driving around a mower on the side of the road, try to keep a safe distance to avoid stones being thrown up and breaking a side window. This also applies to mowing your lawn at home - make sure to park your vehicle further away.
- Keep out of sight: Never leave visible objects inside your car, even if they are not valuable items. They can still be a magnet for criminals.
- Take action: If you have to transport bulky objects such as furniture, a lawnmower, bicycle, or materials, make sure to check that your boot can be closed without breaking the rear window or that your load will not slide off and hit a window when you brake.
- Securely fasten: If you wish to transport a bicycle on a bicycle rack that is mounted on the tailgate of your vehicle, follow the installation instructions carefully. Secure the device to avoid vibrations and ensure that the bicycles do not rest directly on the tailgate.
By following these tips, you can help prevent a broken window and keep your vehicle in good condition. However, if you do experience a broken window, don't hesitate to contact Sekurit Partner for expert repair services.
