Deciding whether to repair and replace a windshield depends on how big the chip is. For example, a chip that is smaller than 25 mm (one inch) in diameter may only need a repair. A chip that’s bigger than 40 mm (nearly 1.6 inches), however, will require a full windshield replacement.
Our service professionals will evaluate the structural integrity of your windshield before making necessary recommendations. Keep in mind that it’s crucial to call an expert as soon as the chip is discovered to maximize the success of a repair or replacement.
Windshield Replacement
Our service professionals will advise a windshield replacement if the chip is larger than 40 mm in diameter to avoid larger chips from developing down the road. If a windshield has a crack, however, replacement is necessary.
