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.
