Windshield Replacement

As a rule, a chip smaller than a toonie and outside the driver's line of sight can be resin-repaired. Cracks that have started to run, or damage at the edge of the glass, mean replacement — the edge is where the windshield takes its structural strength.

The urethane bonding the glass needs a safe cure time before the car is safe to drive, and we'll tell you exactly what that is for the adhesive used on your vehicle. Rushing it compromises how the windshield performs in a collision.

Chip repairs and glass replacement are often covered under comprehensive coverage, sometimes without affecting your premium. We can help with the claim — check your policy or call your broker first.

The windshield is a structural part of the vehicle. It supports the roof in a rollover and provides the backstop the passenger airbag inflates against, so a compromised one is not just a visibility problem.
