A windshield is an important safety feature in a car, and it is important to make sure that it is in good condition. There are several factors that go into determining when a windshield needs to be replaced. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Size of the Crack or Chip
One of the main things that determines whether a windshield needs to be replaced is the size of the crack or chip. If the crack or chip is larger than a quarter, it will need to be replaced. Also, if the crack or chip goes all the way through the glass, it will need to be replaced.
Location of the Crack or Chip
Another factor that determines whether a windshield needs to be replaced is the location of the crack or chip. If the crack or chip is in your line of sight, it will need to be replaced.
Severity of the Crack or Chip
If the crack or chip is severe, it will need to be replaced. Severe cracks include cracks that are longer than 18 inches or cracks that have multiple chips.
These are just a few factors to keep in mind when determining whether you need to get your windshield replaced. In general, if the crack or chip is large, in your line of sight, or severe, you will need to get your windshield replaced. If you are unsure whether you need to get your windshield replaced, you can always consult with a Quick-Set Auto Glass professional.
