Safelite - Auto Glass Chip and Crack Repairs

Crack and chip repair on site!

As the auto glass experts, its Safelites task to conduct and share industry-leading research to understand how glass damage could impact the customer.
In windshield damage studies, they learned that stressors like extreme temperatures, driving and fatigue will cause existing windshield chips and cracks to spread quickly

Cold weather stress: In cold weather conditions, windshields will develop a more concave shape. As a result, windshield chips and dings are more likely to spread in a horizontal fashion.

Warm weather conditions: cause windshields chips to spread more vertically. The same study conducted by MIRA suggested that the heat itself distorts the shape of the windshield glass, which can lead to cracking by itself. However, it was also found that the cooling effect of the air conditioning unit is likely to set off a crack. Driving and fatigue stress: like Driving over a speed bump, pothole or other uneven terrain can cause a chip to crack. The force radiates through the car and puts additional pressure on the edges of the chip, which can quickly lead to a crack.
