What Type of Crack or Damage Does Your Windshield Have?

If you have a small chip or crack caused by a rock, opting for a repair is usually the best choice. However, if the damage is more severe, such as a large crack or multiple cracks, it's generally advisable to opt for a windshield replacement. Replacing the windshield ensures a better seal and offers longevity compared to a repair.

Chip:

A small, isolated area of damage caused by impact, typically circular or semi-circular in shape. It may resemble a star, bullseye, or combination break pattern.

Floater Crack:

A crack located in the middle of the windshield, away from the edges, typically caused by stress or pressure.

Crack:

A line of damage that extends across the windshield, usually caused by a significant impact or stress. Cracks can vary in length and direction, such as:

  • Long Crack:
    A single crack that extends from one end of the windshield to the other, often caused by a strong impact or thermal stress. It can range from a few inches to spanning the entire length of the windshield.
  • Stress Crack:
    A crack that occurs due to stress or temperature changes, usually originating from the edge of the windshield and extending inward.
  • Hairline Crack:
    A very thin crack that is barely visible, often caused by minor impact or stress.
  • Combination Crack:
    Multiple cracks originating from a single point of impact, forming a complex pattern

It's important to note that the severity and spread of cracks can vary, and it's recommended to contact our professional auto glass technicians to assess the damage and determine the appropriate repair or replacement solution.
