How to break the glass of a car

To break the glass of the car it is important to have the right tool. Mapfre’s mobility experts advise using “a hard object, preferably a sharp one”, such as a stone or a bar.

As far as the coup is concerned, the popular saying “better skill than force” is applied. Do it by following these tips:

  • Hit the window on one side, not in the center
  • Hits a small area. “The trick is not in the power but in the surface: if more pressure is applied to a specific point, it will be easier for the glass to crack,” they explain.

How NOT to break car glass

As important as knowing the technique to break the glass of a car is to be clear about what not to do.

Although the windows of a car are made of glass, they are not easy to break because they have a special treatment that makes them very resistant (much more so if the windows are tinted). This is what allows them to withstand many blows on a day-to-day basis without being affected. For this reason, discard the idea of ​​breaking it with a kick or a punch since you will be the only one that will break it.
