Why can’t car door glass be repaired like windshield glass?

Windshields are made of laminated glass, which is constructed from two glass layers with a layer of polyvinyl butyral in between. When windshields break, the polyvinyl butyral holds the glass layers together so that they don’t shatter into shards. Because the glass holds together so well, it’s easier to restore its structural stability via repair. Car side windows are made of tempered glass, which is designed to crumble into small pieces when broken. Once this glass type is damaged, it weakens and loses its original structural stability. That’s why it’s a safer option to replace damaged car side windows.

How much does it cost to fix side car glass?

Side window glass generally requires replacement rather than repair. The cost depends on the size and type of glass. If your side window glass is damaged, contact one of our glass professionals for a replacement estimate.

What do I do if my side window is smashed?

Car Window Replacement and Repair Services in Charleston

Your car windows should provide clear view of the outdoors while driving. And if you’re like most people, you probably prefer the scenic charm of Charleston’s beaches and palm trees unmarred by cracks and chips in your car window.

If one of your car windows is cracked or chipped, not only is your view obstructed, but your safety is also compromised. A damaged side window can delay or even stop airbag deployment. It can also fail to protect passengers from being ejected in the event of an accident.

From small chips to noticeable cracks, driving with a damaged car window puts you and your passengers at risk.

Glass Doctor Auto of Charleston has expert glass specialists who are ready to assist with your car window replacement needs so that you can get back to enjoying the sights that make you smile.

Car Window Repair vs. Car Window Replacement

More often than not, repairing your side windows means replacing them. Here’s why:

Unlike windshields, side car windows are made of tempered glass, which requires replacement instead of repair.
Tempered glass loses its durability once it’s broken or damaged in any way.
We are dedicated to making sure that we offer you the safest and longest lasting option between replacement and repair.

With a damaged car window replaced, you can drive through the streets of Charleston with the confidence that your window glass is intact and is working as it should.

great response to a not so common problem. Had to replace a window in my 5th wheel camper and the glass replacement had to be made because it was not a stock item. Glass Dr did what had to be done to make sure our needs were taken care of.
