How do I know if my windshield needs to be replaced instead of repaired?

Glass should be replaced rather than repaired when a crack is longer than a dollar bill, a chip is wider than a quarter, damage obscures the driver’s line of sight, chips or cracks reach the edge of the glass, or multiple fractures affect one area. Daily driving on I-35 or K-10 around Kansas City increases the risk of damage, and Midwest hailstorms and temperature swings can cause small cracks to spread quickly. Addressing windshield issues early ensures safety and prevents further complications.

Will my insurance cover the cost of a windshield replacement in Olathe?

Most comprehensive auto insurance policies in Kansas include windshield replacement. Some plans may apply a deductible, while others offer optional full-glass endorsements to eliminate out-of-pocket costs. Glass Doctor of Olathe works with your insurer to confirm coverage, clarify deductible details, and file the claim on your behalf so the process is smooth and hassle-free.

How long does a windshield replacement take?

Windshield replacement in Olathe typically takes 1 to 2 hours. The process involves safe removal of the damaged glass, preparing the frame, installing OEE replacement glass, applying high-performance adhesive, and performing a post-installation inspection. Kansas weather conditions such as humidity and temperature can affect adhesive curing time, which is factored into the process. Vehicles with ADAS may also require calibration, completed the same day.

Do you offer ADAS calibration during windshield replacement in Olathe?

Yes. ADAS calibration is included for vehicles equipped with systems like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, forward collision alert, and parking assist. These rely on sensors and cameras near the windshield, making recalibration necessary after replacement. Olathe specialists follow manufacturer procedures to accurately realign safety systems, ensuring they function as intended.
