Can The Rock Chip On My Windshield Be Repaired?

There are several forms of rock chips that you can get on your windshield. No matter how large or small the windshield chip is, they all have a very good chance of turning into a crack. Especially in hot and cold temperatures. Ace Glass can repair the chip in your windshield as long as:

• The rock chip is the size of a quarter or smaller
• The rock chip is not at the edge of your windshield
• The rock chip is not in your acute driving zone where it could be a hazard and obstruct your vision.

If you have a rock chip in the view of the driver or you just don’t want the spot on your windshield, the insurance company will pay to have it replaced.

What Should I Expect When My Windshield is Repaired?

Regardless of the size of the chip, there is always a risk that the chip could split into a crack during the repair process. This does not mean that the windshield repair was not done correctly. Every rock chip is different and has a chance of splitting depending on the severity of the break, and the location of the chip on the windshield. If the chip is located on the curved part of the windshield, this could increase the likelihood of it running off into a crack.

Ace Glass has performed thousands of windshield rock chip repairs over the years and has about a 98% success rate.

Will I Still Be Able To See The Chip After It Is Repaired?

Yes, you will still see a small spot in the windshield where the rock chip was repaired. Every chip repair turns out different and there is really no way to know how it will turn out until the process is complete. Some repairs turn out great where you can barely see them. However, some chips don’t always clear up as much. No windshield chip will ever disappear completely regardless of who is doing it or how it is done.
