Signs Your Windshield Might Be Repairable

If your windshield has a small chip or crack that is less than 3 inches in length, is located away from the driver’s line of sight, and doesn't extend to the edges, it’s likely repairable. Damage that is surface-level, such as a star-shaped chip or short crack, can typically be fixed without compromising the windshield’s integrity. However, if the damage is larger, near the edges, or if the crack has spread or deepened, replacement may be necessary.

When Your Windshield Should Be Replaced

As mentioned above, larger cracks or damage near the edges usually make it a better idea to go with a full windshield replacement to ensure your vehicle’s integrity and safety are not compromised. Also, it can sometimes be more economical to replace the entire windshield than fix multiple small cracks, providing peace of mind knowing that the new windshield will restore both the structural strength and clarity of your vehicle’s view.
