Windshield Repair by Farmland Auto Glass

What you need to know about Windshield Repair:

• Most windshield damage occurs when outside objects impact the glass, causing the crack or chip
• The majority of windshields that get replaced started out with just a small, repairable rock chip
• These chips when stressed (usually through a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the windshield) can crack across your entire windshield
• Windshield chips can be repaired for a fraction of the cost of a new windshield
• The process of repairing a windshield is simple. The crack or chip is filled with a resin that hardens and restores the glass' original strength as well as limiting the spread of the damage

Factors that determine if a rock chip can be repaired

• The overall size of the damage
• The amount of glass missing from the surface at the impact point of the chip
• The location of the chip in the windshield (the damage is still present after the repair process; an imperfection in the glass can impair the drivers view if in the direct line of sight
• You!  Most people just want to prevent replacing the windshield while others want as little noticeable damage to the vehicle as possible
