Can you crack a car windshield by throwing a lighter at it from about 6 ft away?

if it was a Zippo yes but a plastic one no

Joel R

Not a plastic lighter, maybe a Zippo.

Wulf

There are a lot of variables, the answer is yes that it is possible. Was the lighter full? How old was the windshield? Was it hot out? How hard did you throw it?

Molly M

metal lighter = yes

Alan H

i dont think so but you can by throwing a beer bottle at it on st patricks day...cost me $215

UCANTCME

Yes and you can crack a windshield with just about anything on a hot summer day

Vince M

It depends on the lighter, as already mentioned.

Even a metel Zippo is unlikely to crack the windshield, but it IS possible. More likely is that it will just "chip" the glass, which will eventually develop into a crack.

LAB RAT

YES; you can. If it hits the windshield in its 'sweet spot' it certainly can and will break the windshield. A small pebble is all it takes to break over 90% of the windshields that insurance companies replace or repair every year.

Pete T

depends on how big the lighter is and how much of a hoss you are when it comes to chunkin things

m12

That depends. Is it your car??

John S

If you are unlucky enough something like this could break a screen.
