Windshield Repair or Replacement

To decide if windshield repair is possible or if replacement is required for safety, Glass Doctor of Wheat Ridge considers:

  • Damage dimensions: Windshield cracks over three inches in length and chips larger than 3/8 inch indicate the need for windshield replacement.
  • Functional issues:Windshield cracks at the edge of the glass tend to spread, making a full replacement necessary. Similarly, if the crack or chip is located within the driver’s line of vision, a replacement is also necessary.
  • Age: How long the windshield damage has existed is important. After a while, debris accumulates in the damaged area, so a clean and clear repair becomes impossible.

Windshield Repair Advantages

Windshield repairs are our preferred solution to windshield damage. We recommend repair over replacement when safe to do so because:

  • Highly convenient: Glass Doctor of Wheat Ridge often completes windshield repairs in less than hour.
  • Low cost: Windshield repair has a lower price tag than replacement.
  • Better insurance coverage: Insurance companies save money with repair, so sometimes the company waives the deductible and windshield repair may cost you nothing.

Repair Process

Glass Doctor of Wheat Ridge cleans any dirt from the chipped area or windshield crack, then drills a smooth fill area for the injection of special windshield repair resin. After the resin cures, we polish the area for clarity.

Windshield Replacement Process

If your windshield requires replacement, Glass Doctor of Wheat Ridge follows Auto Glass Safety Council™ (AGSC) prescribed steps:

  • We carefully remove the cracked windshield to prevent damaged paint or bonding and potential rust.
  • Using a new windshield that meets the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS), we apply AGSC approved adhesives and properly place the windshield.
  • The adhesive cures; after the dry time, elapses your vehicle is ready to drive.
  • Before you leave, we’ll go over our Windshield Protection Plan, which covers you should the new windshield become damaged within 12 months. If that happens, Glass Doctor of Wheat Ridge will fix the windshield for free. If repair is impossible, we’ll replace the pane.
