Windshield Repair or Replacement?
While Glass Doctor of North Platte can repair most any chipped or cracked windshield, in some circumstances, complete replacement is a better option. You'll want to take into account the following factors:
-
Extent of damage: Generally, chips larger than 3/8 inch and cracks more than three inches long cannot be repaired, and the windshield must be replaced instead.
-
Damage location: Windshield repair often leaves a faint outline where the damage once was. This outline can be distracting if it's in the driver's line of sight, so in that case, it's a good idea to replace the entire windshield. Also, if the cracks have spread to the windshield's edge, they may spread even further, so replacing the windshield is advisable.
-
Damage age: Dirt and dust accumulate in cracks and chips over time, making it more difficult to successfully repair the windshield and requiring replacement instead.
Windshield Repair
Glass Doctor of North Platte recommends repairing rather than replacing damaged windshields when at all possible. It's quicker, and because it's less expensive, your insurance is more likely to pay for the replacement. Repairing the damage is more environmentally friendly than replacing and disposing of the old windshield.
Windshield repair typically takes about an hour. Our glass service professionals clean debris from the damaged area, then a repair resin is injected into the crack or chip. The resin cures for a short period and polished to a clear and smooth finish.
