Cracked Windshield? When to Repair vs Replace – Expert Guide | CitiGlass Delhi

Learn when your windshield crack needs a repair or a full replacement. Quick tips from Citiglass experts.

A cracked windshield may seem minor, but ignoring it can cost you more in the long run. At Citiglass, we often get asked: “Should I repair or replace my car glass?” Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:

When You Can Repair:

• Crack is smaller than a ₹5 coin
• Damage is not in the driver’s line of sight
• Crack hasn’t spread to the edge of the windshield

Repairs are quick, cost-effective, and often take less than 30 minutes.

When Replacement is Necessary:

• Cracks are longer than 6 inches
• Multiple chips or deep impact
• Damage affects structural safety or airbag function

Modern windshields are part of your car’s structural integrity. A weak windshield can compromise safety, especially during accidents.
