Car Window Repair vs. Car Window Replacement
When you discover a crack in the window or windshield of your car, you may wonder whether it can be repaired or if the best solution is to replace it.
Typically, whether you should replace or repair boils down to the type of glass and the size of the damage. Although it’s often cheaper to repair a window than get a replacement, it’s important for car owners to go with the right service to avoid future problems.
When to replace your windshield:
Cracks: It’s time for a replacement if a crack starts or finishes at the end of a windshield.
Permanent chips: If the chip is larger than 40mm in diameter, it cannot be repaired effectively.
Inadequate windshield installation: If you’re driving with the windows closed and you hear a whooshing or rattling sound, your windshield was probably not installed correctly.

A car door window, on the other hand, isn’t made of laminated glass like a windshield. It’s created from tempered glass, which means that any significant damage sustained to your door window will likely require replacement. That’s because tempered glass doesn’t have a tough outer coating like laminated glass does, making repairs harder to do.
Any cracks, breaks, or chips in side auto glass will likely warrant a replacement. However, you may be able to repair your car door window if you’re dealing with a surface issue (e.g., faulty window film).
If you’re still unsure, it’s best to call your local Glass Doctor Auto of Cedar Park at (833) 974-0209 to get a thorough examination and resolution. Learn more about our auto glass repair and replacement services.
