When are windshield repairs a better alternative to windshield replacements?
If the windshield damage covers an area not in the driver’s line of sight, not bigger than about 1 inch in diameter, and has not damaged the laminate layer of the glass, then the windshield may be repaired. Typically, dings and chips are best repaired. However, if the damage impairs the driver’s line of sight, then insurance companies will recommend replacement most of the time.
