Windshield cracks and chips become increasingly more likely the longer you have your vehicle. Kicked up debris, hail, and other damage-causing agents are mostly unavoidable for anyone who drives regularly, but that doesn’t make the damages to your windshield that they cause any less frustrating. Auto glass replacement will address the problems that a damaged windshield brings with it, and if your windshield has any of the following concerns, you shouldn’t wait to replace it.
- Multiple Chips – Chips aren’t usually as much of a concern as cracks are, though that of course depends on factors like placement and depth. However, if there are multiple chips in your windshield, the time for auto glass replacement is here. The more chips your auto glass has, the weaker your windshield will be overall.
- Cracks at the Edge – Large windshield cracks warrant an auto glass replacement, especially if any of these cracks extend to the edge of your windshield. These cracks weaken the windshield more than cracks purely in the middle of your windshield. Plus, they’re more likely to spread and obstruct your vision while you drive.
- Driver’s Side Placement – Even smaller cracks in the driver’s direct line of sight are bad news. Anything that can potentially distract a driver or block even a small portion of their vision should be taken care of as soon as possible, so be sure to replace your windshield if there’s any chip or crack on the driver’s side.
