Do You Need a Windshield Repair or Replacement?
In addition to our car window replacement services, one of the top requests that the experts at Glass Doctor of Harrisburg, IL receives is for auto windshield replacements or repairs. We use the following factors to decide the best and safest option for you:
-
Glass type: Because it’s designed to crumble, repairs on tempered glass are ineffective. The safest solution for tempered glass is replacement.
-
Size: Cracks that are smaller than the size of a quarter, and cracks less than three inches are able to be repaired. Anything larger than these dimensions will most likely require a replacement.
-
Timespan: Newer chips and cracks are simpler to repair than older ones. As the imperfections age, dirt and other particles build up in them, making it more difficult to complete a successful repair.
-
Location: For safety reasons, we replace windshields when chips or cracks are in the driver’s line of site. We also do replacements when cracks are around the edge of the glass.
Windshield Repair
Cracks and chips in a windshield may threaten the architectural strength of the vehicle and safety of passengers when there’s a collision or rollover accident. Don’t wait for your windshield to become dangerous.
At Glass Doctor of Harrisburg, IL, we use Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards™ (AGRSS) to repair windshields and restore a vehicle’s architectural strength. We recommend repairs to replacements when it’s a safe solution because:
- It’s cheaper: Repairs are less expensive than replacements.
- It takes less time: Glass specialists usually finish repairs within an hour.
- It’s better for the environment: Windshield glass is difficult to recycle and usually ends up in landfills. Repairs help reduce landfill waste and the demand for raw resources.
- There are insurance benefits: Many auto policies cover the cost of windshield repairs and waive deductibles. Glass Doctor of Harrisburg, IL will happily handle the windshield claim for you.
When repairing your windshield our auto glass specialist will complete the following steps: First, the specialists clean the impacted area and inject a special resin into the damaged area with a special tool, then they allow the resin to cure, finally they polish the cured resin for a clear finish.
