Should you repair or replace your windshield?

The windshield plays an essential role in the structure of a vehicle and in the protection of its passengers. During an impact, it is important to consult an expert as quickly as possible so that the situation does not get worse. The faster you act on a minor crack, the better the chance that a simple repair will be sufficient.

5 situations where a repair is possible

  1. There are no more than 3 glass chips to repair.
  2. The size of the chip is no larger than a dollar coin.
  3. The point of impact is at least 4 cm from the edge of the windshield.
  4. The break is not in the driver's field of vision, so about 30 cm above the center of the steering wheel.
