Damaged Windshield? Repair or Replacement?

A qualified auto glass service specialist will be able to clearly make known whether your windshield needs to be replaced or repaired. In general, a windshield should only be repaired if the damage is not too extensive or if distortion will not result from the repair.

Most importantly, if the windshield’s inner layer of polyvinyl butyrate has been affected in any way, the windshield should be completely replaced. This adhesive layer is the most important aspect of any vehicle’s windshield, and is what keeps the windshield from shattering into many pieces when impacted.
