Determining Windshield Glass Care
Many car owners may not know when they need to repair or replace their chipped or cracked windshield. While you should always ask a service professional for a professional opinion, many non-specialists can determine the service their car requires by observing the damage. These are the easiest ways to determine if your windshield needs repair or replacement:
Size of Damage to Windshield
A general rule of thumb our service professionals use when deciding if repair or replacement is necessary for your windshield is the 'quarter’ test. If your crack or chip is smaller than the length of a dollar bill, less than three inches, you could be eligible for windshield repair rather than replacement. However, if your damage exceeds the dollar bill limitations, you may need to replace your windshield entirely.
Location of Damage
If damage to your windshield is along the windshield's outer edge or within direct eyesight, you need to replace the entire windshield. When cracks or chips occur next to the windshield's edge, a repair cannot be performed because of the possibility to spread. Similar to that, if the damage to the windshield is the driver's line of sight, it can run the risk of growing larger and obscuring the drivers view. An entire windshield replacement may be the best option.
Time Before Windshield Glass Repair
Although windshield glass repair can be an unwelcome addition to hectic schedules, leaving cracks or chips in your windshield can increase the potential for an entire windshield replacement. The longer the windshield remains damaged without repair, the more dirt, and grit that piles into the damaged area. If the damage becomes too dirty, then repair is no longer an option. Restoring your windshield quickly after the damage is the safest and most budget-friendly option.
