Can Auto Repair Shops Fix Cracked Windshields?

[Cole]

Auto repair shops can fix cracked windshields. Basis for judgment: Today's car windshields are generally laminated glass, not just tempered glass. Repairing them does not significantly affect the safety structure of the auto glass. As long as there is no secondary impact after the repair, scratches or other issues generally will not occur. However, the prerequisite for repair is that the crack is short and the area is small. Cracks of about two centimeters can usually be fully repaired. For large cracks, repair is difficult and not recommended. Methods for maintaining windshields: Use dedicated glass cleaner for washing. For glass, there are certainly specialized glass cleaners. Using glass cleaner not only keeps the windshield clean but also increases lubrication to prevent damage from wipers.
