Windshield damage is an all-too-common headache. Glass Doctor® of Bel Air, MD professionally evaluates your damage to determine whether a windshield repair or replacement is the best option. No matter your needs, our service professionals take care of the damage to get you and your vehicle safely on the way!
Importance of Repair
It's important to have windshield damage taken care of as soon as possible. The windshield is a vital safety component, essential for visibility and crash safety. A windshield supports a vehicle's structural integrity, largely supporting the roof and passenger-side in an accident. In many cars, windshields support the passenger side airbag when it's deployed. If your windshield fails during airbag deployment, passengers could eject from the vehicle.
If you procrastinate, small chips and cracks progress into larger issues as your windshield expands and contracts with changing temperatures. Dirt builds up in chips or cracks, making repairs more difficult and possibly making a replacement necessary.

Our Professional Evaluation
A Glass Doctor of Bel Air, MD professional will examine the damage to determine if windshield replacement or repair is the best option. Repairs are recommended when possible since it's less expensive. Your auto glass expert will consider the following factors:
Size: In general, chips that are larger than 3/8 inch and cracks longer than three inches require replacement rather than repair.
Location: If the chip is directly in the driver’s line of vision, repairs may not suffice. In this crucial area, replacement may be necessary. Cracks that are near the edge of the windshield are likely to spread, so they often necessitate replacement, too.
Age: The longer you wait to repair damages, the more dirt and grime will build up, making it more difficult to repair any cracks or chips.
Windshield Repair
If your auto glass professional determines that repair is your best option, he or she usually performs the repair within an hour by performing the following steps:
Removing debris from the damaged area
Injecting a special resin into the area
Curing the resin to restore the strength of the windshield
Polishing the surface to a clear finish
