What types of windshield damage are repairable?

Rock chips up to the size of a fifty-cent piece and cracks up to 16 inches long are usually repairable. Older cracks may still be fixable but may not clear as well. The sooner you repair, the better the results.

Can I fix a cracked windshield, or do I need replacement?

Many cracked windshields can be repaired if the damage is less than 16 inches. Replacement is only necessary when cracks are too severe.

Should I be concerned about a chipped windshield?

Yes, because even small chips can spread into cracks. However, some tiny nicks or white specs may not require repair. A quick inspection is recommended.

Do DIY rock chip repair kits work?

Sometimes. If applied perfectly the first time, they may help. But if done incorrectly, professional shops cannot redo the repair. Professional service is always more reliable.

Will I still see the damage after repair?

Most rock chip repairs clear up 70%–95%. From inside the car, you may notice a faint spot. Cracks often look like thin hairlines after repair, but glare is reduced significantly.
