3 Key Questions to Determine Windshield Repair vs. Replacement

  • Size: Is the crack shorter than a dollar bill (about 6 inches)? Is the chip smaller than a quarter?
  • Location: Has the crack reached or extended off the edge of the windshield?
  • Driver’s Line of Sight: Is the crack shorter than a dollar bill (about 6 inches)? Is the chip smaller than a quarter?

✅ If the answer to all three is NO, your windshield can likely be repaired.
❌ If the answer to any is YES, replacement is the safest option.

What Is Windshield Repair?

Windshield repair involves injecting a resin into the damaged area where the outer glass layer has chipped or cracked. The resin is then cured with ultraviolet light, bonding the glass and restoring its strength.

Benefits of Repair:

  • Stops cracks from spreading
  • Restores windshield integrity
  • Improves appearance (though not always 100% invisible)
  • Saves time and money
  • Creates a smooth surface on the glass in order to prevent the windshield wipers from catching and tearing
