Windshield Repair vs. Replacement
Not All Cracks Are Created Equal
Your windshield damage may require a full replacement, or it may be fixed with a simple repair. The right choice depends on the size, depth, and location of the damage — and getting it right keeps you safer on the road and saves you money. Use the guide below to figure out which option fits your situation.
Signs Your Windshield Needs To Be Replaced
Your windshield will need to be replaced if it meets any of the following conditions
- The damage is larger than a quarter.
- The crack has started to "spider" and grow.
- There are more than 3 chips.
When to Replace vs. When to Repair
Windshield Replacement
If the windshield damage is more severe than a minor chip or crack — or if the crack sits in the driver's line of vision — your windshield most likely needs replacement. Cracks or holes that go all the way through the glass and cracks longer than a credit card usually indicate a replacement is warranted.
Windshield Repair
Windshield repair is a convenient, cost-effective way to fix minor chips and cracks in your car's front windshield. If the damage isn't directly in the driver's line of vision and the crack isn't longer than a credit card, chances are good that your auto glass can be repaired instead of replaced.
