Unlike vehicle windows, the windshield is made from laminated glass. Windshield glass does not shatter like tempered glass. Instead, it stays intact in order to protect the driver and passengers in the event of an accident.
When you’re deciding on whether you need to replace your windshield, or when a simple windshield repair will do the job, there are a few things to consider, namely how the cracks or chips affect the ability of the driver to see and drive safely. There are other criterias that come into consideration: the size of the chip or crack, where it is located, and how deep the damage is.

When Should You Replace Your Windshield?
- The windshield is damaged to the point that it impairs the driver’s visibility.
- There is a large crack — when the crack is longer than 14 inches or the chip or bullseye is larger than 3 inches.
- The damage is deep — deep cracks and chips can damage the inner layer of glass. Once the inner layer of glass has also been broken it cannot be repaired.
- The damage is near the edge of the windshield, or reaches a corner. Because the windshield has to be properly secured to your car with an adhesive, any cracks or damage that may impact the structural integrity of your vehicle can cause your windshield to pop out or shatter in the event of an accident.
