How to Deal with a Cracked Windshield

[DelRuby]

Here are the methods to handle a cracked windshield: 1. If the crack obstructs your view, you can adjust the seat higher or lower to ensure visibility of the road ahead as much as possible. However, even small cracks can expand due to driving vibrations, leading to greater damage. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a repair shop as soon as possible. 2. If you have separate glass insurance, you can drive directly to a 4S shop for assessment and replacement of a new windshield. For those without insurance and with minor cracks, you can seek repair services from a reputable auto beauty institution. Glass repair typically involves drilling holes at the ends of the crack, using specialized equipment to create a vacuum, injecting transparent resin adhesive into the crack, and then drying it. After repair, the glass's strength is largely unaffected, generally reaching about 90% of the original glass's strength, with the crack being barely visible. 3. Additionally, even without external force, windshields can occasionally crack suddenly. In older vehicles, significant impacts from bumpy roads can cause sudden changes in the window frame's stress, potentially leading to the glass shattering.
