Windshield Repair and Replacement near Frederick, MD

Can a Cracked Windshield Be Repaired?

Perhaps you’ve been following another vehicle and it kicked up a pebble, hitting your windshield and leaving a crack. Maybe you were driving and got involved in an accident with an animal or another vehicle and got left with a cracked windshield. Regardless of why your windshield got damaged, it’s important to get it fixed as soon as possible. Cracks and even small chips can get worse over time, leading to a more costly repair and a dangerous driving situation.

So, can a cracked windshield be repaired? That answer depends on a variety of factors. The size of the crack will be the biggest indicator of whether or not it can be fixed by being filled in. Large cracks that are longer than a dollar bill are too big to be fixed without the entire windshield being replaced. Additionally, the crack cannot be extending to the outside edge of the windshield nor deep enough to go at least halfway through the glass to be repaired. Our experts at Sheehy Collision will be able to inspect the crack in your windshield to see if it can be repaired without replacing the entire windshield or not.
