Repair Cracks Less Than Six Inches Long

Windshield repairs should be completed on chinks less than one inch in diameter and on cracks that are less than six inches long. Once a fracture is longer than that, it can dramatically impair your ability to see the road in front of you. Moreover, longer cracks reduce windshield integrity, which could be hazardous at high speeds or in the event of a collision. Once cracks are longer than six inches, consider a complete windshield replacement for safety's sake.

Purchase A Windshield Repair Kit

windshield replacementA windshield repair kit contains everything you should need for successful auto glass repairs, including a windshield adapter and glass resin. The resin seals the glass against wind, rain, snow, and hail, reduces stress on the glass, and prevents the cracks from spreading, which could necessitate a full windshield replacement.

How To Complete Auto Glass Repairs

Using a 1/6-inch glass drill bit, drill a hole at the end of the crack (stop once you have penetrated through the first layer of glass) to prevent spreading. Apply the resin using the applicator, and seal the cracks and chinks. Once dried, the resin should be mostly imperceptible, and the cracks should be both stronger and less visible than before.
