Windshield Repair & Replacement in Tulare, CA

Repair Chips & Cracks in a Windshield!

A lot of times, it can be very easy to ignore a chip or crack in your windshield. At Troy’s Glass, we advise that you get a damaged windshield repaired immediately. A small chip or crack can turn into a big problem over time if ignored, leading to a full windshield replacement instead of a simple repair.

It’s important to address chips and cracks quickly, because over time, dirt and moisture can seep into a crack causing it to split even further. As a crack widens and lengthens, it becomes increasingly difficult to repair the windshield. Cracks that move outwards towards the edge of the windshield are especially problematic.

Any cracks or chips that are directly in the line of sight for the driver can be an issue as well. This is because they obstruct the ability of the driver to see the road, and a repair often times will not improve the clarity of the glass entirely. While a repair might be appropriate in this case, our technicians will evaluate the condition of the glass and the location of the repair to suggest whether a windshield repair or replacement is necessary.

In general, if a crack is longer than three inches long, it makes it very difficult to repair. Similarly, chips that have grown to roughly a half inch in diameter require a full windshield replacement as well.
