Arizona Auto Glass Company explains how to know if your windshield needs to be repaired or replaced

So you have a damage to your car windshield… how do you know when your auto glass needs to be repaired or replaced? Jason Mariner, President of Clear Cut Glass, a Peoria-based auto, home and commercial glass repair and replacement company, explains how to know if it’s time to replace or simply repair.

  • ASAP – Regardless if the damaged auto glass needs to be repaired or replaced, the National Glass Association (NGA) suggests motorists have a glass professional assess the damage as soon as possible.
  • Repair the Auto Glass– a good rule-of-thumb is that if the small glass damage (commonly referred to as a “chip”) is not in the driver’s line of sight, the damage can be repaired, as long as it is smaller than a silver dollar.
  • Replace the Auto Glass – typically if the vehicle glass damage is larger than a silver dollar and in the driver’s line of sight, it is recommended that the windshield be replaced.
