Do I Need My Windshield Repaired or Replaced?
It can sometimes be difficult to determine whether you need to have your windshield replaced or repaired. When you notice a crack or chip in your windshield, call the experts at Glass Solutions. We have the experience to assess your damage and recommend whether you need to replace your windshield or whether it can be repaired. We will recommend what is necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the glass.
Windshield Repair
If your windshield has a recent chip that is smaller than ½” in diameter or a single crack that is three inches long or less, we can fix it. When it comes to windshield repair, we look at:
- The size of the chip or crack
- Lifespan
- Location
A small, new chip in the center of the windshield is easily fixed, but a long crack on the edge of the windshield that can quickly spread or affect visibility would mean the glass should be replaced.
The Windshield Repair Process at Glass Solutions
Windshield repair is considered a permanent solution, not a temporary fix. It is designed for minor chips and cracks in your windshield. Our process includes several easy steps:
- If you have a chip, the rough edges are smoothed, loose slivers are cleaned out, and all of the air is removed from the void.
- A clear resin is placed into the crack or chip to bond the glass to ensure a durable repair.
- After it cures, it will prevent any damage from spreading and minimize the appearance of the crack or chip.
This is an easy and quick process that takes care of your windshield for years to come. While you may be tempted to purchase a DIY Windshield Repair Kit, repairing a windshield isn’t as easy as you may think. If there are any slivers of glass left or air remaining between the void and the resin, more cracks can form. When you have a windshield or sunroof that needs repairs, it’s best to call the professionals at Glass Solutions.
