The severity of the damage to the windshield plays a significant role in determining whether repair or replacement is required. Small chips and cracks can often be repaired, while larger and more extensive damage may necessitate a full windshield replacement.
The size and location of the damage on the windshield are crucial factors. Repairing cracks or chips that are smaller than a certain size and located away from the driver’s line of sight is usually feasible. However, if the damage is too large or obstructs the driver’s view, windshield replacement may be necessary.
