Windshield Crack Replacement vs. Windshield Chip Repair

a man inside of a white car staring at his cracked windshield with hands on steering wheel Common windshield damage takes one of two different forms: chips and cracks. Chips are often described as round or half-round blemishes in a windshield. Small chips (those that are less than 1/2” or less in diameter) may be repaired if they do not impede the driver’s line of sight.

Large chips or chips that impede the driver’s line of vision are not good candidates for repair. The same goes for windshield cracks of any size or location—they cannot be safely fixed. They are likely to grow or spread (sometimes with a spiderweb-like pattern) and may impact the windshield’s structural integrity or impair the driver’s line of sight.

Windshield services should be completed in a timely manner. Left untreated, chips may become packed with dirt and grow or spawn cracks. Untreated cracks may grow reducing the integrity of your windshield.
