Without proper repair, small scratches, nicks and cracks can easily develop into larger, and ultimately more expensive repairs. Not to mention the safety concerns that arise when a driver’s vision is impaired by a large crack. So, if you notice a crack or chip in the glass of your vehicle, we recommend getting the repair done sooner rather than later to avoid more issues down the road.
Typically, a crack that is smaller than the size of a dollar bill can be repaired, whereas a larger crack will require a full glass replacement. Repair shops will be able to quickly assess the damage and give you an estimate. If your windshield can be repaired, the process is quite simple and you can expect to drive out of the repair shop in under an hour. The technician uses a small suction vacuum to remove any water or other matter from the crack then injects resin to fill it. Whether you need a windshield/glass repair or replacement, the process can be performed in under an hour. Auto glass repair is also often covered by insurance providers, making the process fairly painless.
A drop in temperatures could cause your car windshield to crack. Glass expands and contracts due to temperature so it is important to avoid sudden temperature changes. Never use boiling water to defrost your windshield. Instead, turn on the defroster and let the windshield warm up slowly. However, be careful not to set the defroster too high. Let the windshield warm up gradually so the glass isn't shocked by cold temperatures outside and warm temperatures inside, which can also lead to cracking. If a rock chips your windshield, be sure to get it repaired. Sudden temperature changes can cause small chips to start to crack which can lead to your entire windshield cracking causing you to replace the entire windshield. Be proactive and get rock chips repaired as quickly as possible.
