DON'T WAIT ON WINDSHIELD DAMAGE
A Small Chip Can Become a Bigger Problem
Windshield damage can change over time as the glass is exposed to temperature changes, road vibration, additional impacts, and everyday driving conditions.
Addressing qualifying damage early may give you more options than waiting until the damaged area spreads or becomes more severe.

Repair May Be Possible — Let Us Evaluate the Damage
Many small windshield chips and some minor cracks may be repairable. The right service depends on the size, depth, location, condition, and extent of the damage.
01
Small Chip
Localized impact damage may qualify for repair.
02
Minor Crack
Some limited cracks can be evaluated for repair.
03
Damage Beginning to Spread
Have it evaluated before the affected area becomes larger.
04
Large or Extensive Damage
Windshield replacement may be the more appropriate service.
UNDERSTANDING THE SERVICE
What Is Windshield Repair?
Windshield repair is a service used to address qualifying localized damage in laminated windshield glass. Instead of removing the entire windshield, the damaged area is evaluated and treated when repair is appropriate. The Repair of Laminated Auto Glass Standard (ROLAGS) is an industry standard focused specifically on laminated auto glass repair.
The goal is to address the affected area before the damage becomes more extensive. Repairability depends on the characteristics of the damage and the condition of the surrounding windshield.
Not every chip or crack can be repaired, which is why an evaluation is an important first step.
UNDERSTANDING WINDSHIELD DAMAGE
Common Types of Windshield Damage
Windshield damage can appear in different shapes and patterns. The type of break is one factor used when determining whether repair may be appropriate.
01
Rock Chips
Small impact damage commonly caused by road debris striking the windshield. For more detail about this specific type of service, visit our windshield chip repair page.
02
Bullseye Damage
Circular impact damage that forms around a central point of impact.
03
Star Breaks
Impact damage with small cracks extending outward from the center.
04
Combination Breaks
Damage that contains characteristics of more than one chip or break pattern.
05
Minor Cracks
Some limited cracks may be evaluated for repair depending on their condition.
06
Impact Damage
Localized windshield damage caused by contact with debris or another object.
WHAT AFFECTS REPAIRABILITY?
Several Factors Help Determine Whether Repair Is Appropriate
A windshield chip is not judged by appearance alone. Repairability can depend on several characteristics of the damage and the surrounding glass.
GlassLogic can review the damage along with your vehicle information to help determine whether windshield repair or windshield replacement should be considered.
Request an EvaluationSIZEHow large the damaged area has become
DEPTHHow deeply the damage extends into the glass
LOCATIONWhere the damage appears on the windshield
SPREADINGWhether cracks are extending beyond the original impact
CONDITIONThe overall condition of the affected area
CONTAMINATIONWhether dirt or moisture has entered the damaged area
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT?
Windshield Repair vs. Windshield Replacement
The correct service depends on the condition of the windshield. Repair can be useful for qualifying localized damage, while windshield replacement may be needed when damage is too extensive or the windshield is compromised. The Auto Glass Safety Council consumer resource provides additional information about safe automotive glass repair and replacement standards.
When Replacement May Be Necessary
- Large or extensive cracking
- Severe or spreading damage
- Damage that affects the integrity of the windshield
- Damage that is not considered suitable for repair

MODERN WINDSHIELDS & VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY
Windshields Can Include More Than Glass
Modern windshields can be part of a larger vehicle technology system. Depending on the vehicle, the windshield area may include cameras, sensors, heating elements, antennas, or display-related features. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) explains how cameras, sensors, lane-assistance features, and other driver-assistance technologies are used in modern vehicles.
Windshield repair and windshield replacement are different services. Calibration is more commonly associated with certain windshield replacement procedures when cameras or driver-assistance systems are involved.
