Reader Question How long of crack in my car windshield can be repaired? I have a pretty long jagged crack about 3 inches long..is that too long for the repair guys to work with or can they still do a good job of repairing the crack that long?

Paul,

Cracks and chips may be of various types and may not respond in the same way to the treatment, therefore if you own a windshield repair kit and the crack is not responding to it do not be alarmed. Cracks and chips up to six inches can be repaired by a windshield repair kit, however the experts can repair cracks and chips up to twenty four inches.

A windshield repair can quickly and easily save you the expense of replacing the entire windshield. Cracked windshields can also let in moisture, which can cause hidden corrosive rust to form on the underlying steel and compromise the adhesive bond of the glass to the vehicle. What looks fine from the outside may be a disaster forming underneath.

Reader Question How does one repair a cracked windshield anyway? I bought some repair kit at the auto parts store the other day but it did not work like it was advertised.

Windshield Repair is a process that utilizes modern technology to repair damaged windshield glass. Unlike windshield replacement, Windshield Repair preserves the integrity of the factory seal on the windshield, making it a more cost effective solution for your customers.

Windshield repair is a process that combines modern technology and skill to fill a damaged area on a windshield with special clear adhesive resin.

The resin is then cured with an ultraviolet light. Windshield repair is much cheaper than windshield replacement. You’ll save money – $55.00 for the 1st rock chip and $30.00 for each additional rock chip on the same windshield. I DO NOT however recommend those $10 repair kits you can buy at your local auto parts store, there are professional version of the kit you can order online but they obviously cost much more.
