Causes for Auto Glass Damage

Seasonal extreme weather is typical to expect in the Dallas, TX area. Unfortunately, weather and other outside elements can cause great damage to vehicles. Enclosed cars in the summer heat can be, on average, about 20 degrees hotter than outside temperatures. Extreme heat like this will almost always cause small cracks and chips to grow into large cracks that require windshield replacement. These situations can usually be prevented the sooner you opt for a chip repair.

Rock chip and crack repair

If your windshield has a small rock chip or crack, less than 0.5 inches, a quick repair should be possible. Larger damage can only be fixed with a full replacement. Here are some indications that make windshield replacement absolutely necessary. Here’s a look:

• The windshield crack measures more than six inches
• The crack extends till the windshield’s edge
• The crack lies directly in the driver’s line of sight
• The windshield critical area has been repaired on more than two previous occasions, with the latest damage also lying within this glass area

Types of windshield chips

Specific chips form from certain kinds of collisions. There are six identifiable chips that your car or truck windshield can suffer:

• Bee’s wing
• Half moon
• Clover leaf
• Starbreak
• Bull’s eye
• A combination of two or more types of chips

If the above mentioned chips measure less than 1.5 inches in diameter, it can be repaired. A typical windshield repair takes under thirty minutes, allowing you to get your vehicle back on the road quickly.

Windshield and Door Replacement

Most auto glass replacements are completed within one hour, more complex jobs may take slightly longer. These longer jobs usually include specialty wiring or a door with air bags. Once the job is finished, you will need to wait about two hours before you can drive your vehicle. This wait period is necessary for the urethane sealant to properly cure. Humidity, temperature and urethane type can also prolong cure time.
