How do I clean up shattered glass in a car?

I woke up this morning to a shattered back window from someone trying to steal a bag out of my car. How do I clean up all this shattered glass?

Sarah Gray · Updated on Mar 21, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

I’m sorry to hear that you have to deal with that! Having your car broken into is bad enough without the added trouble of having to clean up the shattered glass. Unfortunately, it’s something you’ll have to deal with if you want to get your vehicle to the repair shop.

Cleaning up shattered glass in your car is actually fairly simple: all you need is a shop vac. There aren’t likely to be any large shards of glass, so just let the shop vac do all the work to keep yourself safe from cuts. Your repair shop will likely repeat the vacuuming, so just get everything you can see and leave the rest to them.

Car break-ins are not only scary, but they can also be costly—especially if you don’t have

reliable car insurance

that will cover repairs to your car. This is where licensed broker and super app

can help! Jerry can find the best insurance customized for you, so you know you’ll be covered in the event of anything from a fender bender to vehicle theft.

How do you charge a Hyundai Kona electric car?

I have a new neighbor who drives a Hyundai Kona, and I know it’s an EV, but I’ve only seen him drive it, and never charge it. He’s only lived here a week and since I don’t want to be super nosy or annoying, I’m kind of hesitant to ask. How do you charge a Hyundai Kona electric car?

Can you sleep in a car with the windows rolled up?

Her worry is that I could have suffocated. Is it really dangerous to sleep in a car with the windows rolled up?
